Finalized and committed all of previous weeks' open patches and MFC’d them to stable/14.: sound: SNDCTL_AUDIOINFO: Do not skip physical channels if VCHANs are disabled: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=f30af1f037a68947edbabebc7ab495cd1b7a4ec8 sound: Get rid of snd_sb16 workaround in vchan_create(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=d6d4586b0b7e3b01812e6c26818af78bf9b680a3 [*] sound: Fix lock order reversals in mseq_open(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=fc76e24e583d45a3a59fd7ad4e603c0679eaf572 [*] Peter Holm email me saying he's experienced problems with with commit when testing it with stress2. The issue was that I forgot to drop the lock in the error path. I wrote a fix but then saw that rew@ had already pushed the same fix: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=3114d55866b86ca1132923211936aa23881b0057 snd_uaudio: Remove unused sc_sndstat sbuf: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=3402d474ceb8541d07689bad6960f90739129997 sound: Remove MIDI_TYPE: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=526bd1d87ec997e1c090262da6f2d9b6da0e8f89 sound: Remove *MINOR from midi/: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=8b9e1b628064daba3650d04fa83cf79808877981 sound: Simplify getchns(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=46e92a41cb539e327dd059d571fa381d0fbe779c sound: Improve simplex handling in dsp_open(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=be04a9d9387f6b5d4e83fc4976d8d83bb03fe5af sound: Make DSP_FIXUP_ERROR() regular code: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=adc1713fb13f89a6eb33f5de840c981d0e17e4b7 sound: Remove dead code in pcm_register(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a9f08df3e9004f431e98f67afc1ac2b2f773ec14 sound: Handle midistat_lock through function interface: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=2d6fc24673ccc97020c94094f97ee015f1db9702 sound: Fix min/max rate for SNDCTL_AUDIOINFO and SNDCTL_ENGINEINFO: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=86585210fd5657542884b22eb52b21e960b7be6c sound: Refactor sndstat_get_caps(): https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=9d8b93bc9ccea82b648ffa9354200c9e4d3f211b sound: Add min_rate and min_channels safety check in SNDCTL_AUDIOINFO: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=1a768ea9db3d66941b0dc5340ac028ef548808b8 sound: Add missing CHN_[UN]LOCKs in sndstat: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=e850bd36dfda98608432d2459800627d16119fec --- audio(3): Sent an email Alexandre Ratchov, who is an active OpenBSD audio contributor and author of sndio, about audio(3) and sndio(3), after he replied to my latest development report on freebsd-multimedia@. Testing and fixing audio and MIDI read() and write() functions. Memory-mapped IO still doesn’t work properly, still fighting with it. --- Implementing mididump(1), a MIDI reading/writing program, similar to OpenBSD’s midicat(1). Uses audio(3). --- sound tests: Add sndstat nvlist ATF test: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D45901 Writing a dummy sound driver to use it for testing. --- Started working on a bluetooth device management utility, for now named btctl(8). Unfortunately hccontrol(8) is totally unreliable, works not even half the time, and this makes testing the tool really hard… I might have to contact the author of hccontrol(8) to see if we can address this issue.
