Remove I/O priority. It is harmful when used with the new file code.

2014-08-30T18:01:21+00:00

HAVE_IO_PRIORITY was defined for native targets with dircache.

It is already effectively disabled for the most part since dircache no
longer lowers its thread's I/O priority. It existed primarily for the
aforementioned configuration.

Do not include kernel.h in system.h.

2014-01-05T18:35:23+00:00

system.h doesn't need it on its own and this change makes it less
dependant on Rockbox internals.

Enable setting of global output samplerate on certain targets.

2013-07-06T02:22:04+00:00

Replaces the NATIVE_FREQUENCY constant with a configurable frequency.

The user may select 48000Hz if the hardware supports it. The default is
still 44100Hz and the minimum is 44100Hz. The setting is located in the
playback settings, under "Frequency".

"Frequency" was duplicated in english.lang for now to avoid having to
fix every .lang file for the moment and throwing everything out of sync
because of the new play_frequency feature in features.txt. The next
cleanup should combine it with the one included for recording and
generalize the ID label.

If the hardware doesn't support 48000Hz, no setting will be available.

On particular hardware where very high rates are practical and desireable,
the upper bound can be extended by patching.

The PCM mixer can be configured to play at the full hardware frequency
range. The DSP core can configure to the hardware minimum up to the
maximum playback setting (some buffers must be reserved according to
the maximum rate).

If only 44100Hz is supported or possible on a given target for playback,
using the DSP and mixer at other samperates is possible if the hardware
offers them.

SWCODEC Audio: Add some INIT_ATTR's to get a few bytes back.

Update software recording engine to latest codec interface.

2013-06-29T22:40:27+00:00

Basically, just give it a good rewrite.

Software codec recording can be implemented in a more straightforward
and simple manner and made more robust through the better codec
control now available.

Encoded audio buffer uses a packed format instead of fixed-size
chunks and uses smaller data headers leading to more efficient usage.
The greatest benefit is with a VBR format like wavpack which needs
to request a maximum size but only actually ends up committing part
of that request.

No guard buffers are used for either PCM or encoded audio. PCM is
read into the codec's provided buffer and mono conversion done at
that time in the core if required. Any highly-specialized sample
conversion is still done within the codec itself, such as 32-bit
(wavpack) or interleaved mono (mp3).

There is no longer a separate filename array. All metadata goes
onto the main encoded audio buffer, eliminating any predermined
file limit on the buffer as well as not wasting the space for
unused path queue slots.

The core and codec interface is less awkward and a bit more sensible.
Some less useful interface features were removed. Threads are kept
on narrow code paths ie. the audio thread never calls encoding
functions and the codec thread never calls file functions as before.

Codecs no longer call file functions directly. Writes are buffered
in the core and data written to storage in larger chunks to speed up
flushing of data. In fact, codecs are no longer aware of the stream
being a file at all and have no access to the fd.

SPDIF frequency detection no longer requires a restart of recording
or plugging the source before entering the screen. It will poll
for changes and update when stopped or prerecording (which does
discard now-invalid prerecorded data).

I've seen to it that writing a proper header on full disk works
when the format makes it reasonably practical to do so. Other cases
may have incorrect data sizes but sample info will be in tact. File
left that way may play anyway.

mp3_enc.codec acquires the ability to write 'Info' headers with LAME
tags to make it gapless (bonus).

Refactor audio thread to run both recording and playback.

2013-05-31T07:20:35+00:00

Eliminates the pcmrec thread and keeps playback and recording engine
operation mutually-exclusive.

audio_thread.c contains the audio thread which branches to the
correct engine depending upon the request. It also handles the main
audio initialization.

Moves pcm_init into main.c just before dsp_init because I don't want
that one in audio_init in the new file.

(Also makes revision df6e1bc pointless ;)

More strictly enforce "no PCM insert" rules for codecs.

2012-05-13T07:25:55+00:00

Takes care of when codecs try to sneak-in another PCM buffer insert
at the wrong time. Codecs are wiley and just can't always be trusted
to cooperate.

Stop clickiness on manual track changes as best as possible.

2012-05-07T08:13:50+00:00

Get the DSP_FLUSH sprinkled in the right spot so that history-
keeping prcessing stages are cleared on a forced stop. They already
were on a seek.

Fundamentally rewrite much of the audio DSP.

2012-04-29T08:00:56+00:00

Creates a standard buffer passing, local data passing and messaging
system for processing stages. Stages can be moved to their own source
files to reduce clutter and ease assimilation of new ones. dsp.c
becomes dsp_core.c which supports an engine and framework for effects.

Formats and change notifications are passed along with the buffer so
that they arrive at the correct time at each stage in the chain
regardless of the internal delays of a particular one.

Removes restrictions on the number of samples that can be processed at
a time and it pays attention to destination buffer size restrictions
without having to limit input count, which also allows pcmbuf to
remain fuller and safely set its own buffer limits as it sees fit.
There is no longer a need to query input/output counts given a certain
number of input samples; just give it the sizes of the source and
destination buffers.

Works in harmony with stages that are not deterministic in terms of
sample input/output ratio (like both resamplers but most notably
the timestretch). As a result it fixes quirks with timestretch hanging
up with certain settings and it now operates properly throughout its
full settings range.
