For example, we change the audio +profile switching code in the pulseaudio, and we want to verify if the +change works as expected and if the change introduce the regression, +in this case, we could inject plugin or plugout events to an audio +jack or to some audio jacks, we don't need to physically access the +machine and plug/unplug physical devices to the audio jack. + +In this design, an audio jack doesn't equal to a physical audio jack. +Sometimes a physical audio jack contains multi functions, and the +ALSA driver creates multi ``jack_kctl`` for a ``snd_jack``, here the +``snd_jack`` represents a physical audio jack and the ``jack_kctl`` +represents a function, for example a physical jack has two functions: +headphone and mic_in, the ALSA ASoC driver will build 2 ``jack_kctl`` +for this jack. The jack injection is implemented based on the +``jack_kctl`` instead of ``snd_jack``. + +To inject events to audio jacks, we need to enable the jack injection +via ``sw_inject_enable`` first, once it is enabled, this jack will not +change the state by hardware events anymore, we could inject plugin or +plugout events via ``jackin_inject`` and check the jack state via +``status``, after we finish our test, we need to disable the jack +injection via ``sw_inject_enable`` too, once it is disabled, the jack +state will be restored according to the last reported hardware events +and will change by future hardware events. + +The Layout of Jack Injection Interface +====================================== + +If users enable the SND_JACK_INJECTION_DEBUG in the kernel, the audio +jack injection interface will be created as below: +:: + + $debugfs_mount_dir/sound + |-- card0 + |-- |-- HDMI_DP_pcm_10_Jack + |-- |-- |-- jackin_inject + |-- |-- |-- kctl_id + |-- |-- |-- mask_bits + |-- |-- |-- status + |-- |-- |-- sw_inject_enable + |-- |-- |-- type + ... + |-- |-- HDMI_DP_pcm_9_Jack + |-- |-- jackin_inject + |-- |-- kctl_id + |-- |-- mask_bits + |-- |-- status + |-- |-- sw_inject_enable + |-- |-- type + |-- card1 + |-- HDMI_DP_pcm_5_Jack + |-- |-- jackin_inject + |-- |-- kctl_id + |-- |-- mask_bits + |-- |-- status + |-- |-- sw_inject_enable + |-- |-- type + ... + |-- Headphone_Jack + |-- |-- jackin_inject + |-- |-- kctl_id + |-- |-- mask_bits + |-- |-- status + |-- |-- sw_inject_enable + |-- |-- type + |-- Headset_Mic_Jack + |-- jackin_inject + |-- kctl_id + |-- mask_bits + |-- status + |-- sw_inject_enable + |-- type + +The Explanation Of The Nodes +====================================== + +kctl_id + read-only, get jack_kctl->kctl's id + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat kctl_id + Headphone Jack + +mask_bits + read-only, get jack_kctl's supported events mask_bits + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat mask_bits + 0x0001 HEADPHONE(0x0001) + +status + read-only, get jack_kctl's current status + +- headphone unplugged: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat status + Unplugged + +- headphone plugged: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat status + Plugged + +type + read-only, get snd_jack's supported events from type (all supported events on the physical audio jack) + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat type + 0x7803 HEADPHONE(0x0001) MICROPHONE(0x0002) BTN_3(0x0800) BTN_2(0x1000) BTN_1(0x2000) BTN_0(0x4000) + +sw_inject_enable + read-write, enable or disable injection + +- injection disabled: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat sw_inject_enable + Jack: Headphone Jack Inject Enabled: 0 + +- injection enabled: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# cat sw_inject_enable + Jack: Headphone Jack Inject Enabled: 1 + +- to enable jack injection: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# echo 1 > sw_inject_enable + +- to disable jack injection: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# echo 0 > sw_inject_enable + +jackin_inject + write-only, inject plugin or plugout + +- to inject plugin: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# echo 1 > jackin_inject + +- to inject plugout: + + :: + + sound/card1/Headphone_Jack# echo 0 > jackin_inject |
