Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

2 | Sound Blaster Audigy mixer / default DSP code | ||
3 | =========================================== | ||
4 | |||
5 | This is based on SB-Live-mixer.txt. | ||
6 | |||
7 | The EMU10K2 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support | ||
8 | various ways of sample processing, which is described here. | ||
9 | (This acticle does not deal with the overall functionality of the | ||
10 | EMU10K2 chips. See the manuals section for further details.) | ||
11 | |||
12 | The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code | ||
13 | (can be altered later) which offers the following functionality: | ||
14 | |||
15 | |||
16 | 1) Digital mixer controls | ||
17 | ------------------------- | ||
18 | |||
19 | These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended | ||
20 | functionality. Only the default build-in code in the ALSA driver is described | ||
21 | here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the | ||
22 | neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the same destination | ||
23 | is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped | ||
24 | (set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow). | ||
25 | |||
26 | |||
27 | Explanation of used abbreviations: | ||
28 | |||
29 | DAC - digital to analog converter | ||
30 | ADC - analog to digital converter | ||
31 | I2S - one-way three wire serial bus for digital sound by Philips Semiconductors | ||
32 | (this standard is used for connecting standalone DAC and ADC converters) | ||
33 | LFE - low frequency effects (subwoofer signal) | ||
34 | AC97 - a chip containing an analog mixer, DAC and ADC converters | ||
35 | IEC958 - S/PDIF | ||
36 | FX-bus - the EMU10K2 chip has an effect bus containing 64 accumulators. | ||
37 | Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators | ||
38 | and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum. | ||

218 | 2) PCM stream related controls | ||
219 | ------------------------------ | ||
220 | |||
221 | name='EMU10K1 PCM Volume',index 0-31 | ||
222 | |||
223 | Channel volume attenuation in range 0-0xffff. The maximum value (no | ||
224 | attenuation) is default. The channel mapping for three values is | ||
225 | as follows: | ||
226 | |||

239 | 3 - mono, D destination (FX-bus 0-63), default 3 | ||
240 | 4 - mono, E destination (FX-bus 0-63), default 0 | ||
241 | 5 - mono, F destination (FX-bus 0-63), default 0 | ||

258 | 22 - right, G destination (FX-bus 0-63), default 0 | ||
259 | 23 - right, H destination (FX-bus 0-63), default 0 | ||
260 | |||
261 | Don't forget that it's illegal to assign a channel to the same FX-bus accumulator | ||
262 | more than once (it means 0=0 && 1=0 is an invalid combination). | ||
263 | |||
264 | name='EMU10K1 PCM Send Volume',index 0-31 | ||
265 | |||
266 | It specifies the attenuation (amount) for given destination in range 0-255. | ||

279 | 10 - left, C destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
280 | 11 - left, D destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
281 | 12 - left, E destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
282 | 13 - left, F destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
283 | 14 - left, G destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
284 | 15 - left, H destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
285 | 16 - right, A destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
286 | 17 - right, B destination attn, default 255 (no attenuation) | ||
287 | 18 - right, C destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
288 | 19 - right, D destination attn, default 0 (mute) | ||
