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!

4 | Changelog for version 3.8o | ||
5 | -------------------------- | ||
6 | |||
7 | Since 3.8h | ||
8 | - Included support for OPL3-SA1 and SoftOSS | ||
9 | |||
10 | Since 3.8 | ||
11 | - Fixed SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE | ||
12 | - Compatibility fixes for Linux 2.1.47 | ||
13 | |||
14 | Since 3.8-beta21 | ||
15 | - Fixed all known bugs (I think). | ||
16 | |||
17 | Since 3.8-beta8 | ||
18 | - Lot of fixes to audio playback code in dmabuf.c | ||
19 | |||
20 | Since 3.8-beta6 | ||
21 | - Fixed the famous Quake delay bug. | ||
22 | |||
23 | Since 3.8-beta5 | ||
24 | - Fixed many bugs in audio playback. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Since 3.8-beta4 | ||
27 | - Just minor changes. | ||
28 | |||
29 | Since 3.8-beta1 | ||
30 | - Major rewrite of audio playback handling. | ||
31 | - Added AWE32 support by Takashi Iwai (in ./lowlevel/). | ||
32 | |||
33 | Since 3.7-beta# | ||
34 | - Passing of ioctl() parameters between soundcard.c and other modules has been | ||
35 | changed so that arg always points to kernel space. | ||
36 | - Some bugfixes. | ||
37 | |||
38 | Since 3.7-beta5 | ||
39 | - Disabled MIDI input with GUS PnP (Interwave). There seems to be constant | ||
40 | stream of received 0x00 bytes when the MIDI receiver is enabled. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Since 3.5 | ||
43 | - Changes almost everywhere. | ||
44 | - Support for OPTi 82C924-based sound cards. | ||
45 | |||
46 | Since 3.5.4-beta8 | ||
47 | - Fixed a bug in handling of non-fragment sized writes in 16 bit/stereo mode | ||
48 | with GUS. | ||
49 | - Limited minimum fragment size with some audio devices (GUS=512 and | ||
50 | SB=32). These devices require more time to "recover" from processing | ||
51 | of each fragment. | ||
52 | |||
53 | Since 3.5.4-beta6/7 | ||
54 | - There seems to be problems in the OPTi 82C930 so cards based on this | ||
55 | chip don't necessarily work yet. There are problems in detecting the | ||
56 | MIDI interface. Also mixer volumes may be seriously wrong on some systems. | ||
57 | You can safely use this driver version with C930 if it looks to work. | ||
58 | However please don't complain if you have problems with it. C930 support | ||
59 | should be fixed in future releases. | ||
60 | - Got initialization of GUS PnP to work. With this version GUS PnP should | ||
61 | work in GUS compatible mode after initialization using isapnptools. | ||
62 | - Fixed a bug in handling of full duplex cards in write only mode. This has | ||
63 | been causing "audio device opening" errors with RealAudio player. | ||
64 | |||
65 | Since 3.5.4.beta5 | ||
66 | - Changes to OPTi 82C930 driver. | ||
67 | - Major changes to the Soundscape driver. The driver requires now just one | ||
68 | DMA channel. The extra audio/dsp device (the "Not functional" one) used | ||
69 | for code download in the earlier versions has been eliminated. There is now | ||
70 | just one /dev/dsp# device which is used both for code download and audio. | ||
71 | |||
72 | Since 3.5.4.beta4 | ||
73 | - Minor changes. | ||
74 | |||
75 | Since 3.5.4-beta2 | ||
76 | - Fixed silent playback with ESS 688/1688. | ||
77 | - Got SB16 to work without the 16 bit DMA channel (only the 8 bit one | ||
78 | is required for 8 and 16 bit modes). | ||
79 | - Added the "lowlevel" subdirectory for additional low level drivers that | ||
80 | are not part of USS core. See lowlevel/README for more info. | ||
81 | - Included support for ACI mixer (by Markus Kuhn). ACI is a mixer used in | ||
82 | miroPCM sound cards. See lowlevel/aci.readme for more info. | ||
83 | - Support for Aztech Washington chipset (AZT2316 ASIC). | ||
84 | |||
85 | Since 3.5.4-beta1 | ||
86 | - Reduced clicking with AD1848. | ||
87 | - Support for OPTi 82C930. Only half duplex at this time. 16 bit playback | ||
88 | is sometimes just white noise (occurs randomly). | ||
89 | |||
90 | Since 3.5.2 | ||
91 | - Major changes to the SB/Jazz16/ESS driver (most parts rewritten). | ||
92 | The most noticeable new feature is support for multiple SB cards at the same | ||
93 | time. | ||
94 | - Renamed sb16_midi.c to uart401.c. Also modified it to work also with | ||
95 | other MPU401 UART compatible cards than SB16/ESS/Jazz. | ||
96 | - Some changes which reduce clicking in audio playback. | ||
97 | - Copying policy is now GPL. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Since 3.5.1 | ||
100 | - TB Maui initialization support | ||
101 | Since 3.5 | ||
102 | - Improved handling of playback underrun situations. | ||
103 | |||
104 | Since 3.5-beta10 | ||
105 | - Bug fixing | ||
106 | |||
107 | Since 3.5-beta9 | ||
108 | - Fixed for compatibility with Linux 1.3.70 and later. | ||
109 | - Changed boot time passing of 16 bit DMA channel number to SB driver. | ||
110 | |||
111 | Since 3.5-beta8 | ||
112 | - Minor changes | ||
113 | |||
114 | Since 3.5-beta7 | ||
115 | - enhancements to configure program (by Jeff Tranter): | ||
116 | - prompts are in same format as 1.3.x Linux kernel config program | ||
117 | - on-line help for each question | ||
118 | - fixed some compile warnings detected by gcc/g++ -Wall | ||
119 | - minor grammatical changes to prompts | ||
120 | |||
121 | Since 3.5-beta6 | ||
122 | - Fixed bugs in mmap() support. | ||
123 | - Minor changes to Maui driver. | ||
124 | |||
125 | Since 3.5-beta5 | ||
126 | - Fixed crash after recording with ESS688. It's generally a good | ||
127 | idea to stop inbound DMA transfers before freeing the memory | ||
128 | buffer. | ||
129 | - Fixed handling of AD1845 codec (for example Shuttle Sound System). | ||
130 | - Few other fixes. | ||
131 | |||
132 | Since 3.5-beta4 | ||
133 | - Fixed bug in handling of uninitialized instruments with GUS. | ||
134 | |||
135 | Since 3.5-beta3 | ||
136 | - Few changes which decrease popping at end/beginning of audio playback. | ||
137 | |||
138 | Since 3.5-beta2 | ||
139 | - Removed MAD16+CS4231 hack made in previous version since it didn't | ||
140 | help. | ||
141 | - Fixed the above bug in proper way and in proper place. Many thanks | ||
142 | to James Hightower. | ||
143 | |||
144 | Since 3.5-beta1 | ||
145 | - Bug fixes. | ||
146 | - Full duplex audio with MAD16+CS4231 may work now. The driver configures | ||
147 | SB DMA of MAD16 so that it doesn't conflict with codec's DMA channels. | ||
148 | The side effect is that all 8 bit DMA channels (0,1,3) are populated in | ||
149 | duplex mode. | ||
150 | |||
151 | Since 3.5-alpha9 | ||
152 | - Bug fixes (mostly in Jazz16 and ESS1688/688 supports). | ||
153 | - Temporarily disabled recording with ESS1688/688 since it causes crash. | ||
154 | - Changed audio buffer partitioning algorithm so that it selects | ||
155 | smaller fragment size than earlier. This improves real time capabilities | ||
156 | of the driver and makes recording to disk to work better. Unfortunately | ||
157 | this change breaks some programs which assume that fragments cannot be | ||
158 | shorter than 4096 bytes. | ||
159 | |||
160 | Since 3.5-alpha8 | ||
161 | - Bug fixes | ||
162 | |||
163 | Since 3.5-alpha7 | ||
164 | - Linux kernel compatible configuration (_EXPERIMENTAL_). Enable | ||
165 | using command "cd /linux/drivers/sound;make script" and then | ||
166 | just run kernel's make config normally. | ||
167 | - Minor fixes to the SB support. Hopefully the driver works with | ||
168 | all SB models now. | ||
169 | - Added support for ESS ES1688 "AudioDrive" based cards. | ||
170 | |||
171 | Since 3.5-alpha6 | ||
172 | - SB Pro and SB16 supports are no longer separately selectable options. | ||
173 | Enabling SB enables them too. | ||
174 | - Changed all #ifndef EXCLUDE_xx stuff to #ifdef CONFIG_xx. Modified | ||
175 | configure to handle this. | ||
176 | - Removed initialization messages from the | ||
177 | modularized version. They can be enabled by using init_trace=1 in | ||
178 | the insmod command line (insmod sound init_trace=1). | ||
179 | - More AIX stuff. | ||
180 | - Added support for synchronizing dsp/audio devices with /dev/sequencer. | ||
181 | - mmap() support for dsp/audio devices. | ||
182 | |||
183 | Since 3.5-alpha5 | ||
184 | - AIX port. | ||
185 | - Changed some xxx_PATCH macros in soundcard.h to work with | ||
186 | big endian machines. | ||
187 | |||
188 | Since 3.5-alpha4 | ||
189 | - Removed the 'setfx' stuff from the version distributed with kernel | ||
190 | sources. Running 'setfx' is required again. | ||
191 | |||
192 | Since 3.5-alpha3 | ||
193 | - Moved stuff from the 'setfx' program to the AudioTrix Pro driver. | ||
194 | |||
195 | Since 3.5-alpha2 | ||
196 | - Modifications to makefile and configure.c. Unnecessary sources | ||
197 | are no longer compiled. Newly created local.h is also copied to | ||
198 | /etc/soundconf. "make oldconfig" reads /etc/soundconf and produces | ||
199 | new local.h which is compatible with current version of the driver. | ||
200 | - Some fixes to the SB16 support. | ||
201 | - Fixed random protection fault in gus_wave.c | ||
202 | |||
203 | Since 3.5-alpha1 | ||
204 | - Modified to work with Linux-1.3.33 and later | ||
205 | - Some minor changes | ||
206 | |||
207 | Since 3.0.2 | ||
208 | - Support for CS4232 based PnP cards (AcerMagic S23 etc). | ||
209 | - Full duplex support for some CS4231, CS4232 and AD1845 based cards | ||
210 | (GUS MAX, AudioTrix Pro, AcerMagic S23 and many MAD16/Mozart cards | ||
211 | having a codec mentioned above). | ||
212 | - Almost fully rewritten loadable modules support. | ||
213 | - Fixed some bugs. | ||
214 | - Huge amount of testing (more testing is still required). | ||
215 | - mmap() support (works with some cards). Requires much more testing. | ||
216 | - Sample/patch/program loading for TB Maui/Tropez. No initialization | ||
217 | since TB doesn't allow me to release that code. | ||
218 | - Using CS4231 compatible codecs as timer for /dev/music. | ||
219 | |||
220 | Since 3.0.1 | ||
221 | - Added allocation of I/O ports, DMA channels and interrupts | ||
222 | to the initialization code. This may break modules support since | ||
223 | the driver may not free some resources on unload. Should be fixed soon. | ||
224 | |||
225 | Since 3.0 | ||
226 | - Some important bug fixes. | ||
227 | - select() for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio (Linux only). | ||
228 | (To use select() with read, you have to call read() to start | ||
229 | the recording. Calling write() kills recording immediately so | ||
230 | use select() carefully when you are writing a half duplex app. | ||
231 | Full duplex mode is not implemented yet.) Select works also with | ||
232 | /dev/sequencer and /dev/music. Maybe with /dev/midi## too. | ||
233 | |||
234 | Since 3.0-beta2 | ||
235 | - Minor fixes. | ||
236 | - Added Readme.cards | ||
237 | |||
238 | Since 3.0-beta1 | ||
239 | - Minor fixes to the modules support. | ||
240 | - Eliminated call to sb_free_irq() in ad1848.c | ||
241 | - Rewritten MAD16&Mozart support (not tested with MAD16 Pro). | ||
242 | - Fix to DMA initialization of PSS cards. | ||
243 | - Some fixes to ad1848/cs42xx mixer support (GUS MAX, MSS, etc.) | ||
244 | - Fixed some bugs in the PSS driver which caused I/O errors with | ||
245 | the MSS mode (/dev/dsp). | ||
246 | |||
247 | Since 3.0-950506 | ||
248 | - Recording with GUS MAX fixed. It works when the driver is configured | ||
249 | to use two DMA channels with GUS MAX (16 bit ones recommended). | ||
250 | |||
251 | Since 3.0-94xxxx | ||
252 | - Too many changes | ||
253 | |||
254 | Since 3.0-940818 | ||
255 | - Fixes for Linux 1.1.4x. | ||
256 | - Disables Disney Sound System with SG NX Pro 16 (less noise). | ||
257 | |||
258 | Since 2.90-2 | ||
259 | - Fixes to soundcard.h | ||
260 | - Non blocking mode to /dev/sequencer | ||
261 | - Experimental detection code for Ensoniq Soundscape. | ||
262 | |||
263 | Since 2.90 | ||
264 | - Minor and major bug fixes | ||
265 | |||
266 | Since pre-3.0-940712 | ||
267 | - GUS MAX support | ||
268 | - Partially working MSS/WSS support (could work with some cards). | ||
269 | - Hardware u-Law and A-Law support with AD1848/CS4248 and CS4231 codecs | ||
270 | (GUS MAX, GUS16, WSS etc). Hardware ADPCM is possible with GUS16 and | ||
271 | GUS MAX, but it doesn't work yet. | ||
272 | Since pre-3.0-940426 | ||
273 | - AD1848/CS4248/CS4231 codec support (MSS, GUS MAX, Aztec, Orchid etc). | ||
274 | This codec chip is used in various sound cards. This version is developed | ||
275 | for the 16 bit daughtercard of GUS. It should work with other cards also | ||
276 | if the following requirements are met: | ||
277 | - The I/O, IRQ and DMA settings are jumper selectable or | ||
278 | the card is initialized by booting DOS before booting Linux (etc.). | ||
279 | - You add the IO, IRQ and DMA settings manually to the local.h. | ||
280 | (Just define GUS16_BASE, GUS16_IRQ and GUS16_DMA). Note that | ||
281 | the base address bust be the base address of the codec chip not the | ||
282 | card itself. For the GUS16 these are the same but most MSS compatible | ||
283 | cards have the codec located at card_base+4. | ||
284 | - Some minor changes | ||
285 | |||
286 | Since 2.5 (******* MAJOR REWRITE ***********) | ||
287 | |||
288 | This version is based on v2.3. I have tried to maintain two versions | ||
289 | together so that this one should have the same features than v2.5. | ||
290 | Something may still be missing. If you notice such things, please let me | ||
291 | know. | ||
292 | |||
293 | The Readme.v30 contains more details. | ||
294 | |||
295 | - /dev/midi## devices. | ||
296 | - /dev/sequencer2 | ||
297 | |||
298 | Since 2.5-beta2 | ||
299 | - Some fine tuning to the GUS v3.7 mixer code. | ||
300 | - Fixed speed limits for the plain SB (1.0 to 2.0). | ||
301 | |||
302 | Since 2.5-beta | ||
303 | - Fixed OPL-3 detection with SB. Caused problems with PAS16. | ||
304 | - GUS v3.7 mixer support. | ||
305 | |||
306 | Since 2.4 | ||
307 | - Mixer support for Sound Galaxy NX Pro (define __SGNXPRO__ on your local.h). | ||
308 | - Fixed truncated sound on /dev/dsp when the device is closed. | ||
309 | - Linear volume mode for GUS | ||
310 | - Pitch bends larger than +/- 2 octaves. | ||
311 | - MIDI recording for SB and SB Pro. (Untested). | ||
312 | - Some other fixes. | ||
313 | - SB16 MIDI and DSP drivers only initialized if SB16 actually installed. | ||
314 | - Implemented better detection for OPL-3. This should be useful if you | ||
315 | have an old SB Pro (the non-OPL-3 one) or a SB 2.0 clone which has a OPL-3. | ||
316 | - SVR4.2 support by Ian Hartas. Initial ALPHA TEST version (untested). | ||
317 | |||
318 | Since 2.3b | ||
319 | - Fixed bug which made it impossible to make long recordings to disk. | ||
320 | Recording was not restarted after a buffer overflow situation. | ||
321 | - Limited mixer support for GUS. | ||
322 | - Numerous improvements to the GUS driver by Andrew Robinson. Including | ||
323 | some click removal etc. | ||
324 | |||
325 | Since 2.3 | ||
326 | - Fixed some minor bugs in the SB16 driver. | ||
327 | |||
328 | Since 2.2b | ||
329 | - Full SB16 DSP support. 8/16 bit, mono/stereo | ||
330 | - The SCO and FreeBSD versions should be in sync now. There are some | ||
331 | problems with SB16 and GUS in the FreeBSD versions. | ||
332 | The DMA buffer allocation of the SCO version has been polished but | ||
333 | there could still be some problems. At least it hogs memory. | ||
334 | The DMA channel | ||
335 | configuration method used in the SCO/System is a hack. | ||
336 | - Support for the MPU emulation of the SB16. | ||
337 | - Some big arrays are now allocated boot time. This makes the BSS segment | ||
338 | smaller which makes it possible to use the full driver with | ||
339 | NetBSD. These arrays are not allocated if no suitable sound card is available. | ||
340 | - Fixed a bug in the compute_and_set_volume in gus_wave.c | ||
341 | - Fixed the too fast mono playback problem of SB Pro and PAS16. | ||
342 | |||
343 | Since 2.2 | ||
344 | - Stereo recording for SB Pro. Somehow it was missing and nobody | ||
345 | had noticed it earlier. | ||
346 | - Minor polishing. | ||
347 | - Interpreting of boot time arguments (sound=) for Linux. | ||
348 | - Breakup of sb_dsp.c. Parts of the code has been moved to | ||
349 | sb_mixer.c and sb_midi.c | ||
350 | |||
351 | Since 2.1 | ||
352 | - Preliminary support for SB16. | ||
353 | - The SB16 mixer is supported in its native mode. | ||
354 | - Digitized voice capability up to 44.1 kHz/8 bit/mono | ||
355 | (16 bit and stereo support coming in the next release). | ||
356 | - Fixed some bugs in the digitized voice driver for PAS16. | ||
357 | - Proper initialization of the SB emulation of latest PAS16 models. | ||
358 | |||
359 | - Significantly improved /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support. | ||
360 | - Now supports half duplex mode. It's now possible to record and | ||
361 | playback without closing and reopening the device. | ||
362 | - It's possible to use smaller buffers than earlier. There is a new | ||
363 | ioctl(fd, SNDCTL_DSP_SUBDIVIDE, &n) where n should be 1, 2 or 4. | ||
364 | This call instructs the driver to use smaller buffers. The default | ||
365 | buffer size (0.5 to 1.0 seconds) is divided by n. Should be called | ||
366 | immediately after opening the device. | ||
367 | |||
368 | Since 2.0 | ||
369 | Just cosmetic changes. | ||
