/*! This module bypasses alsa-lib and directly read and write into memory mapped kernel memory. In case of the sample memory, this is in many cases the DMA buffers that is transferred to the sound card. The reasons for doing this are: * Minimum overhead where it matters most: let alsa-lib do the code heavy setup - then steal its file descriptor and deal with sample streaming from Rust. * RT-safety to the maximum extent possible. Creating/dropping any of these structs causes syscalls, but function calls on these are just read and write from memory. No syscalls, no memory allocations, not even loops (with the exception of `MmapPlayback::write` that loops over samples to write). * Possibility to allow Send + Sync for structs * It's a fun experiment and an interesting deep dive into how alsa-lib does things. Note: Not all sound card drivers support this direct method of communication; although almost all modern/common ones do. It only works with hardware devices though (such as "hw:xxx" device strings), don't expect it to work with, e g, the PulseAudio plugin or so. For an example of how to use this mode, look in the "synth-example" directory. */ use libc; use std::{mem, ptr, fmt, cmp}; use crate::error::{Error, Result}; use std::os::unix::io::RawFd; use crate::{pcm, PollDescriptors, Direction}; use crate::pcm::Frames; use std::marker::PhantomData; use super::ffi::*; /// Read PCM status via a simple kernel syscall, bypassing alsa-lib. /// /// If Status is not available on your architecture, this is the second best option. pub struct SyncPtrStatus(snd_pcm_mmap_status); impl SyncPtrStatus { /// Executes sync_ptr syscall. /// /// Unsafe because /// - setting appl_ptr and avail_min might make alsa-lib confused /// - no check that the fd is really a PCM pub unsafe fn sync_ptr(fd: RawFd, hwsync: bool, appl_ptr: Option, avail_min: Option) -> Result { let mut data = snd_pcm_sync_ptr { flags: (if hwsync { SNDRV_PCM_SYNC_PTR_HWSYNC } else { 0 }) + (if appl_ptr.is_some() { SNDRV_PCM_SYNC_PTR_APPL } else { 0 }) + (if avail_min.is_some() { SNDRV_PCM_SYNC_PTR_AVAIL_MIN } else { 0 }), c: snd_pcm_mmap_control_r { control: snd_pcm_mmap_control { appl_ptr: appl_ptr.unwrap_or(0) as snd_pcm_uframes_t, avail_min: avail_min.unwrap_or(0) as snd_pcm_uframes_t, } }, s: mem::zeroed() }; sndrv_pcm_ioctl_sync_ptr(fd, &mut data).map_err(|_| Error::new("SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR", nix::errno::Errno::last() as i32))?; let i = data.s.status.state; if (i >= (pcm::State::Open as snd_pcm_state_t)) && (i <= (pcm::State::Disconnected as snd_pcm_state_t)) { Ok(SyncPtrStatus(data.s.status)) } else { Err(Error::unsupported("SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR returned broken state")) } } pub fn hw_ptr(&self) -> pcm::Frames { self.0.hw_ptr as pcm::Frames } pub fn state(&self) -> pcm::State { unsafe { mem::transmute(self.0.state as u8) } /* valid range checked in sync_ptr */ } pub fn htstamp(&self) -> libc::timespec { self.0.tstamp } } /// Read PCM status directly from memory, bypassing alsa-lib. /// /// This means that it's /// 1) less overhead for reading status (no syscall, no allocations, no virtual dispatch, just a read from memory) /// 2) Send + Sync, and /// 3) will only work for "hw" / "plughw" devices (not e g PulseAudio plugins), and not /// all of those are supported, although all common ones are (as of 2017, and a kernel from the same decade). /// Kernel supported archs are: x86, PowerPC, Alpha.
