At present, axfer is designed to use several types of backend for
transmission of data frames. This commit is an implementation
example of the backend.
Libffado is a userspace library for transmission of data frames according
to protocols similar to IEC 61883-1/6. This library handles audio and
music units on IEEE 1394 bus.
Unfortunately, this library executes ctor/dtor of instances for some
objects in startup/finish routines of C runtime. As a result, it outputs
some superfluous messages even if the backend is not actually used.
Furthermore, this library brings memory leak internally. Therefore,
it's not practical to build this backend for generic purposes. Although
the backend implementation works fine, this commit is just for technical
preview.

Althogh many options are actually supported by aplay, some of them are
not enough good in practical points. For example, '--test-position'
option is meaningless for some use cases. Furthermore, due to practical

This commit marks such options as 'obsoleted'.

In 2010, ALSA PCM interface got an flag of hardware parameters to suppress
periodical interrupts, according to a request from PulseAudio developer.
In typical PCM operation for usual hardware, PCM drivers configure the
hardware to generate the periodical interrupts to notify that the same
amount of data frames as a period of PCM buffer is actually transferred
via serial sound interface. The flag can suppress this if the driver
support it.
There's some merits of this configuration:
- No interrupt context run for PCM substream. The PCM substream is
handled in any process context only. No need to care of race
conditions between interrupt/process contexts. This is good for
developers of drivers and applications.
- CPU time is not used for handlers on the interrupt context. The CPU
time can be dedicated for the other tasks. This is good in a point
of Time Sharing System.
- Hardware is not configured to generate interrupts. This is good in a
point of reduction of overall power consumption.
Disabling period interrupt is used for 'Timer-based scheduling' to
consume data frames on PCM buffer independently of interrupt context. As
noted, no interrupt context runs for PCM substream, thus any blocking
operation is not released. Furthermore, system calls for multiplexed I/O
is not also released without timeout.
In this scheduling model, applications need to care of available space on
PCM buffer by lapse of time, typically by yielding CPU and wait for
rescheduling. For the yielding, timeout is calculated for preferable
amount of PCM frames to process. This is an additional merit for
applications, like sound servers. when an I/O thread of the server wait
for the timeout, the other threads can process data frames for server
clients. Furthermore, with usage of rewinding/forwarding, applications
can achieve low latency between transmission position and handling
position even if they uses large size of PCM buffers.
But the timeout should be calculated with enough care of hardware
capabilities. To disable period interrupt, used hardware should satisfy
some requirements for data transmission:
1. Even if drivers don't handle interrupts to queue next data transmission,
hardware voluntarily perform the data transmission when needed
(typically by requesting DMA automatically).
2. hardware has a capability to report current position of data
transmission with enough accuracy against the data transmission.
developers refer this as 'granularity'. If hardware can always
reports updated position after the data transmission finishes, the
granularity equals to the size of period of PCM buffer.
3. a fine size of data transmission in one time. This size is decided
depending on configuration of hardware or DMA controller, but for
efficiency it may not be one byte. Thus some amount of data frame is
transferred by one data transmission. Developers refer this as
'burst-ness'.
The timeout should be calculated according to the item 2 and 3, however
in current ALSA PCM interface supplemental information is not delivered
from drivers to applications. Although at present userspace applications
should be written by a speculative way for this point, there's few
problems because there're a few hardware which satisfy the above items.
However, when more drivers supports this feature, the problem may largely
be exposed and bothers application developers.
This commit adds an option to use 'timer-based scheduling' for data
transmission. This commit adds '--sched-model' option, and the scheduling
mode is enabled when 'timer' is assigned to the option by equal sign.
Although there's some TODOs, you can see the scheduling mode in this
simple program, like:
$ axfer transfer --sched-model=timer -P -d 2 -D hw:0,3 /dev/urandom -f dat -vvv
$ axfer transfer --sched-model=timer -C -d 2 -D hw:1,0 /dev/null -r 48000 -vvv

As of 2017, two userspace library implementations are known; alsa-lib and
tinyalsa. The latter is simple I/O library to use ALSA PCM interface. On
the other hand, alsa-lib is more complicated than it. This is because it's
designed to add features to transmission of data frames; e.g. sample
resampling. To achieve this, alsa-lib has its configuration space and
plugin system.
In aplay, some options are implemented as a flag for the plugins in
alsa-lib. The flag is given to snd_pcm_open(). This commit adds support

In ALSA PCM interface, two parameters are used for size of intermediate
buffer for data frames; period size and buffer size. Actual effects of
these sizes differs depending on hardware, but basically the size of
period is used for intervals of hardware interrupts and the size of buffer
is used to maintain the intermediate buffer as ring buffer. These
parameters can be configured as a part of hardware parameters by
data frame unit or micro second. PCM API in alsa-lib also includes
helper functions to configure them by the two units.
This commit adds support for options to the parameters by both units. When
no options are given, default values are applied according to current
aplay; available maximum size of buffer up to 500msec, a quarter of the
size of buffer for period size. However, these calculation should be

snd_pcm_hw_params_xxx() functions. An actual layout of the structure is

dependency or conflicts. Furthemore, some of them are just for

* --help (-h)
* Just output 'help' string (not written yet).
* --verbose (-v)
* For verbose output, including information about xfer, mapper and
container.
* --format (-f): string. format literals or one of ['cd'|'cdr'|'dat']
* For sample format supported by ALSA PCM interface. Special format
can be used. For playback, this is auto-detected according to actual
file format.
* --channels (-c)
* For the number of samples included in one data frame. For playback,
this is auto-detected according to actual file format, except for
'raw' format. This option can conflict to above format option.
* --rate (-r)
* For the number of data frames transferred in one second. For playback,
this is auto-detected according to actual file format, except for
'raw' format. This option can conflict to format option above.
* --file-type (-f): string. one of ['wav'|'au'|'voc'|'raw']
* For format of files of given paths. For playback, this is optional
because the format is auto-detected. For capture, this is optional too
because the format is decided according to suffix of given path.
Anyway, this option is used for cases to fail to detect or decide.
* --separate-channels (-I)
* When using several files as source or destination for transmission
of data frame, this option can be used with several file paths.
When '--separate-channels' option is used, users can give several file
paths to source/destination of data transmission, else they can give single
file path for the purpose. When multiple files are handled by this option,
for playback, data frames in first channel is used to construct buffer for
data transmission with multi channel. For capture, data frames in each
channel of buffer are written to each of given path. Furthermore, when a
single path is given for capture, file paths are auto-generated according
to available number of channels. For example, 'name.wav' is given for
2 channels capture, 'name-0.wav' and 'name-1.wav' are generated. In a
case of no suffix, 'name-0' and 'name-1' are generated.
