在介绍PCM 之前,我们先给出创建PCM实例的框架。

1.创建pcm实例
ALSA driver为我们提供接口snd_pcm_new来创建PCM实例。但是我们最好是写一个如上述snd_mychip_new_pcm的函数来来对构建pcm实例的过程进行封装。
/**
* snd_pcm_new - create a new PCM instance
* @card: the card instance
* @id: the id string
* @device: the device index (zero based)
* @playback_count: the number of substreams for playback
* @capture_count: the number of substreams for capture
* @rpcm: the pointer to store the new pcm instance
*/
int snd_pcm_new(struct snd_card *card, const char *id, int device, int playback_count, int capture_count, struct snd_pcm **rpcm)
第三个参数表示新创建的PCM实例的index(0,1,2,3).可以在一个card上创建多个PCM 实例。每一个PCM又可以包含多个substream.如果芯片支持多路播放,那么将有多个substream.每次open/close都作用于某个substream.在创建PCM的substream时就指定了number(0~playback_count).当App在调用alsa lib API:snd_pcm_open时,alsa core通过snd_pcm_attach_substream函数来open一个空闲的substream.
2.设置PCM的操作函数
创建完PCM函数后,就可设置PCM 的操作函数。
snd_pcm_set_ops(pcm, SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, &snd_mychip_playback_ops); snd_pcm_set_ops(pcm, SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE, &snd_mychip_capture_ops);
操作函数即我们写driver时需要实现的功能,以供alsa-core调用。ALSA PCM的操作函数包括:
static struct snd_pcm_ops snd_mychip_playback_ops = { .open = snd_mychip_pcm_open, .close = snd_mychip_pcm_close, .ioctl = snd_pcm_lib_ioctl, .hw_params = snd_mychip_pcm_hw_params, .hw_free = snd_mychip_pcm_hw_free, .prepare = snd_mychip_pcm_prepare, .trigger = snd_mychip_pcm_trigger, .pointer = snd_mychip_pcm_pointer, };
每个函数都包含一个snd_pcm_substream 的指针,指向当前操作的substream.
在上面的例子中,每个操作函数里面都包含如下宏调用:
其中返回的是substream->private_data,sustream的private_data是pcm->private_data的一份拷贝。拷贝动作是在snd_pcm_open时调用的snd_pcm_attach_substream中进行。一般来说pcm的private_data是芯片专用数据,当然我们也可以overwrite以保存别的数据。
2.1 open
当open PCM的一路substream时,open函数就会被调用。
static int snd_xxx_open(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) { struct mychip *chip = snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream); struct snd_pcm_runtime *runtime = substream->runtime; runtime->hw = snd_mychip_playback_hw; return 0; }
在open函数内,至少应该初始化此substream的runtime->hw结构体.snd_mychip_playback_hw是预先定义的硬件描述。
