+=======================
+
+Some drivers (e.g. hdsp) require the large contiguous buffers, and
+sometimes it's too late to find such spaces when the driver module is
+actually loaded due to memory fragmentation. You can pre-allocate the
+PCM buffers by loading snd-page-alloc module and write commands to its
+proc file in prior, for example, in the early boot stage like
+/etc/init.d/*.local scripts.
+
+Reading the proc file /proc/drivers/snd-page-alloc shows the current

+commands to the snd-page-alloc driver:
+
+ - add VENDOR DEVICE MASK SIZE BUFFERS
+
+ VENDOR and DEVICE are PCI vendor and device IDs. They take
+ integer numbers (0x prefix is needed for the hex).
+ MASK is the PCI DMA mask. Pass 0 if not restricted.
+ SIZE is the size of each buffer to allocate. You can pass
+ k and m suffix for KB and MB. The max number is 16MB.
+ BUFFERS is the number of buffers to allocate. It must be greater
+ than 0. The max number is 4.

+This document is a guide to using the emu10k1 based devices with JACK for low
+latency, multichannel recording functionality. All of my recent work to allow
+Linux users to use the full capabilities of their hardware has been inspired
+by the kX Project. Without their work I never would have discovered the true
+power of this hardware.

+
+Low latency, multichannel audio with JACK and the emu10k1/emu10k2
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Until recently, emu10k1 users on Linux did not have access to the same low
+latency, multichannel features offered by the "kX ASIO" feature of their
+Windows driver. As of ALSA 1.0.9 this is no more!
+
+For those unfamiliar with kX ASIO, this consists of 16 capture and 16 playback
+channels. With a post 2.6.9 Linux kernel, latencies down to 64 (1.33 ms) or
+even 32 (0.66ms) frames should work well.
+
+The configuration is slightly more involved than on Windows, as you have to
+select the correct device for JACK to use. Actually, for qjackctl users it's
+fairly self explanatory - select Duplex, then for capture and playback select
+the multichannel devices, set the in and out channels to 16, and the sample
+rate to 48000Hz. The command line looks like this:
+
+/usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:0,2 -Phw:0,3 -S
+
+This will give you 16 input ports and 16 output ports.
+
+The 16 output ports map onto the 16 FX buses (or the first 16 of 64, for the
+Audigy). The mapping from FX bus to physical output is described in
+SB-Live-mixer.txt (or Audigy-mixer.txt).
+
+The 16 input ports are connected to the 16 physical inputs. Contrary to
+popular belief, all emu10k1 cards are multichannel cards. Which of these
+input channels have physical inputs connected to them depends on the card
+model. Trial and error is highly recommended; the pinout diagrams
+for the card have been reverse engineered by some enterprising kX users and are
+available on the internet. Meterbridge is helpful here, and the kX forums are
+packed with useful information.
+
+Each input port will either correspond to a digital (SPDIF) input, an analog
+input, or nothing. The one exception is the SBLive! 5.1. On these devices,
+the second and third input ports are wired to the center/LFE output. You will
+still see 16 capture channels, but only 14 are available for recording inputs.
+
+This chart, borrowed from kxfxlib/da_asio51.cpp, describes the mapping of JACK
+ports to FXBUS2 (multitrack recording input) and EXTOUT (physical output)
+channels.

+Software Interface ALSA-DSP MADI Driver
+
+(translated from German, so no good English ;-),
+2004 - winfried ritsch
+
+
+
+ Full functionality has been added to the driver. Since some of
+ the Controls and startup-options are ALSA-Standard and only the
+ special Controls are described and discussed below.
+
+
+ hardware functionality:
+
+
+ Audio transmission:
+
+ number of channels -- depends on transmission mode
+
+ The number of channels chosen is from 1..Nmax. The reason to
+ use for a lower number of channels is only resource allocation,
+ since unused DMA channels are disabled and less memory is
+ allocated. So also the throughput of the PCI system can be
+ scaled. (Only important for low performance boards).
+
+ Single Speed -- 1..64 channels
+
+ (Note: Choosing the 56channel mode for transmission or as
+ receiver, only 56 are transmitted/received over the MADI, but
+ all 64 channels are available for the mixer, so channel count
+ for the driver)
+
+ Double Speed -- 1..32 channels
+
+ Note: Choosing the 56-channel mode for
+ transmission/receive-mode , only 28 are transmitted/received
+ over the MADI, but all 32 channels are available for the mixer,
+ so channel count for the driver
+

+
+ Sample Rates --
+
+ Single Speed -- 32000, 44100, 48000
+
+ Double Speed -- 64000, 88200, 96000 (untested)
+
+ Quad Speed -- 128000, 176400, 192000 (untested)
+
+ access-mode -- MMAP (memory mapped), Not interleaved
+ (PCM_NON-INTERLEAVED)
+
+ buffer-sizes -- 64,128,256,512,1024,2048,8192 Samples
+
+ fragments -- 2
+
+ Hardware-pointer -- 2 Modi
+
+
+ The Card supports the readout of the actual Buffer-pointer,
+ where DMA reads/writes. Since of the bulk mode of PCI it is only
+ 64 Byte accurate. SO it is not really usable for the
+ ALSA-mid-level functions (here the buffer-ID gives a better
+ result), but if MMAP is used by the application. Therefore it
+ can be configured at load-time with the parameter
+ precise-pointer.
+
+
+ (Hint: Experimenting I found that the pointer is maximum 64 to
+ large never to small. So if you subtract 64 you always have a
+ safe pointer for writing, which is used on this mode inside
+ ALSA. In theory now you can get now a latency as low as 16
+ Samples, which is a quarter of the interrupt possibilities.)
+
+ Precise Pointer -- off
+ interrupt used for pointer-calculation
+
+ Precise Pointer -- on
+ hardware pointer used.
+
+ Controller:
+
+
+ Since DSP-MADI-Mixer has 8152 Fader, it does not make sense to
+ use the standard mixer-controls, since this would break most of
+ (especially graphic) ALSA-Mixer GUIs. So Mixer control has be
+ provided by a 2-dimensional controller using the
+ hwdep-interface.
+
+ Also all 128+256 Peak and RMS-Meter can be accessed via the
+ hwdep-interface. Since it could be a performance problem always
+ copying and converting Peak and RMS-Levels even if you just need
+ one, I decided to export the hardware structure, so that of
+ needed some driver-guru can implement a memory-mapping of mixer
+ or peak-meters over ioctl, or also to do only copying and no
+ conversion. A test-application shows the usage of the controller.
+
+ Latency Controls --- not implemented !!!
+
+
+ Note: Within the windows-driver the latency is accessible of a
+ control-panel, but buffer-sizes are controlled with ALSA from
+ hwparams-calls and should not be changed in run-state, I did not
+ implement it here.

+The 1-wire (w1) subsystem
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+The 1-wire bus is a simple master-slave bus that communicates via a single
+signal wire (plus ground, so two wires).
+
+Devices communicate on the bus by pulling the signal to ground via an open
+drain output and by sampling the logic level of the signal line.
+
+The w1 subsystem provides the framework for managing w1 masters and
+communication with slaves.
+
+All w1 slave devices must be connected to a w1 bus master device.
+
+Example w1 master devices:
+ DS9490 usb device
+ W1-over-GPIO
+ DS2482 (i2c to w1 bridge)
+ Emulated devices, such as a RS232 converter, parallel port adapter, etc
+
+
+What does the w1 subsystem do?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+When a w1 master driver registers with the w1 subsystem, the following occurs:
+
+ - sysfs entries for that w1 master are created
+ - the w1 bus is periodically searched for new slave devices
+
+When a device is found on the bus, w1 core checks if driver for it's family is
+loaded. If so, the family driver is attached to the slave.
+If there is no driver for the family, a simple sysfs entry is created
+for the slave device.
+
+
+W1 device families
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+Slave devices are handled by a driver written for a family of w1 devices.
+
+A family driver populates a struct w1_family_ops (see w1_family.h) and
+registers with the w1 subsystem.
+
+Current family drivers:
+w1_therm - (ds18?20 thermal sensor family driver)
+ provides temperature reading function which is bound to ->rbin() method
+ of the above w1_family_ops structure.
+
+w1_smem - driver for simple 64bit memory cell provides ID reading method.
You can call above methods by reading appropriate sysfs files.
+
+
+What does a w1 master driver need to implement?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The driver for w1 bus master must provide at minimum two functions.
+
+Emulated devices must provide the ability to set the output signal level
+(write_bit) and sample the signal level (read_bit).
+
+Devices that support the 1-wire natively must provide the ability to write and
+sample a bit (touch_bit) and reset the bus (reset_bus).
+
+Most hardware provides higher-level functions that offload w1 handling.
+See struct w1_bus_master definition in w1.h for details.
+
+
+w1 master sysfs interface
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+<xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - a directory for a found device. The format is family-serial
+bus - (standard) symlink to the w1 bus
+driver - (standard) symlink to the w1 driver
+w1_master_attempts - the number of times a search was attempted
+w1_master_max_slave_count
+ - the maximum slaves that may be attached to a master
+w1_master_name - the name of the device (w1_bus_masterX)
+w1_master_search - the number of searches left to do, -1=continual (default)
+w1_master_slave_count
+ - the number of slaves found
+w1_master_slaves - the names of the slaves, one per line
+w1_master_timeout - the delay in seconds between searches
+
+If you have a w1 bus that never changes (you don't add or remove devices),
+you can set w1_master_search to a positive value to disable searches.
+
+
+w1 slave sysfs interface
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+bus - (standard) symlink to the w1 bus
+driver - (standard) symlink to the w1 driver
+name - the device name, usually the same as the directory name
+w1_slave - (optional) a binary file whose meaning depends on the
+ family driver
