[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/8] qapi: qapi for audio backends


From: Kővágó, Zoltán
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/8] qapi: qapi for audio backends
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 18:43:46 +0200

This patch adds structures into qapi to replace the existing
configuration structures used by audio backends currently. This qapi
will be the base of the -audiodev command line parameter (that replaces
the old environment variables based config).

This is not a 1:1 translation of the old options, I've tried to make
them much more consistent (e.g. almost every backend had an option to
specify buffer size, but the name was different for every backend, and
some backends required usecs, while some other required frames, samples
or bytes). Also tried to reduce the number of abbreviations used by the
config keys.

Some of the more important changes:
* use `in` and `out` instead of `ADC` and `DAC`, as the former is more
  user friendly imho
* moved buffer settings into the global setting area (so it's the same
  for all backends that support it. Backends that can't change buffer
  size will simply ignore them). Also using usecs, as it's probably more
  user friendly than samples or bytes.
* try-poll is now an alsa and oss backend specific option (as all other
  backends currently ignore it)

Changes from v2 patch:
* documentation fixes
* rename mmap -> try-mmap, buffer -> buffer-len
* id is now required
* converted into flat unions
* renamed alsa's and oss's in an out, because it was incompatible with
  with flat union

Changes from v1 patch:
* every time-related field now take usecs (and removed -usecs, -millis suffixes)
* fixed inconsisten optional marking, language issues

Changes from v2 RFC patch:
* in, out are no longer optional
* try-poll: moved to alsa and oss (as no other backend used them)
* voices: added (env variables had this option)
* dsound: removed primary buffer related fields

Changes from v1 RFC patch:
* fixed style issues
* moved definitions into a separate file
* documented undocumented options (hopefully)
* removed plive option. It was useless even years ago so it can probably safely
  go away: 
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-03/msg02427.html
* removed verbose, debug options. Backends should use trace events instead.
* removed *_retries options from dsound. It's a kludge.
* moved buffer_usecs and buffer_count to the global config options. Some driver
  might ignore it (as they do not expose API to change them).
* wav backend: removed frequecy, format, channels as AudiodevPerDirectionOptions
  already have them.
