This series of patches adds a new -audiodev command line option to specify audio
subsytem parameters instead of environment variables. This will later allow us
to specify multiple audio backends. The syntax is something like this:
 -audiodev driver_name,property=value,...
like:
 -audiodev alsa,frequency=8000,channels=1

The first commit adds a qapi Audiodev struct that describes the audio backend
options. The next 4 commits are some miscellaneous additions that are needed by
the last commit which finally adds the -audiodev option.

For users with esoteric platforms or needs please check I did not break anything
accidentally. For easier testing, pull https://github.com/DirtYiCE/qemu.git tag
audio-cmdline-v2.

Please review.

This patch adds structures into qapi to replace the existing configuration
structures used by audio backends currently. This qapi will be the base of the
-audiodev command line parameter (that replaces the old environment variables
based config).

This is not a 1:1 translation of the old options, I've tried to make them much
more consistent (e.g. almost every backend had an option to specify buffer size,
but the name was different for every backend, and some backends required usecs,
while some other required frames, samples or bytes). Also tried to reduce the
number of abbreviations used by the config keys.

Some of the more important changes:
* use `in` and `out` instead of `ADC` and `DAC`, as the former is more user
  friendly imho
* moved buffer settings into the global setting area (so it's the same for all
  backends that support it. Backends that can't change buffer size will simply
  ignore them). Also using usecs, as it's probably more user friendly than
  samples or bytes.
* try-poll is now an alsa and oss backend specific option (as all other backends
  currently ignore it)

Changes from v1 patch:
* every time-related field now take usecs (and removed -usecs, -millis suffixes)
* fixed inconsisten optional marking, language issues

Changes from v2 RFC patch:
* in, out are no longer optional
* try-poll: moved to alsa and oss (as no other backend used them)
* voices: added (env variables had this option)
* dsound: removed primary buffer related fields

Changes from v1 RFC patch:
* fixed style issues
* moved definitions into a separate file
* documented undocumented options (hopefully)
* removed plive option. It was useless even years ago so it can probably safely
  go away: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-03/msg02427.html
* removed verbose, debug options. Backends should use trace events instead.
* removed *_retries options from dsound. It's a kludge.
* moved buffer_usecs and buffer_count to the global config options. Some driver
  might ignore it (as they do not expose API to change them).
* wav backend: removed frequecy, format, channels as AudiodevPerDirectionOptions
  already have them.

The current OptsVisitor flattens the whole structure, if there are same named
fields under different paths (like `in' and `out' in `Audiodev'), the current
visitor can't cope with them (for example setting `frequency=44100' will set the
in's frequency to 44100 and leave out's frequency unspecified).

This patch fixes it, by the following changes:
1) Specifying just the field name will apply to all fields that has the
   specified name (this means it would set both in's and out's frequency to
   44100 in the above example).
2) Optionally user can specify the path in the hierarchy. Names are separated by
   a dot (e.g. `in.frequency', `foo.bar.something', etc). The user need not
   specify the whole path, only the last few components (i.e. `bar.something' is
   equivalent to `foo.bar.something' if only `foo' has a `bar' field). This way
   1) is just a special case of this when only the last component is specified.
3) In case of an ambiguity (e.g `frequency=44100,in.frequency=8000') the longest
   matching (the most specific) path wins (so in this example, in's frequency
   would become 8000, because `in.frequency' is more specific that `frequency',
   and out's frequency would become 44100, because only `frequency' matches it).

From: Kővágó, Zoltán @ 2015-06-16 12:49 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Kevin Wolf, Gerd Hoffmann, open list:Block layer core

This allows to print options in a format that the user would actually write it
on the command line (foo=bar,baz=asd,etc=def), without prepending a spurious
comma at the beginning of the list.

Only block.c depended on the old behavior, but it was also updated.

Simple visitor that recursively allocates structures with only optional
variables. Unions are initialized to the first type specified. Other non
optional types are not supported.

* [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/6] audio: use qapi AudioFormat instead of audfmt_e

I had to include an enum for audio sampling formats into qapi, but that meant
duplicating the audfmt_e enum. This patch replaces audfmt_e and associated
values with the qapi generated AudioFormat enum.

This patch is mostly a search-and-replace, except for switches where the qapi
generated AUDIO_FORMAT_MAX caused problems.

  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Paolo Bonzini, Gerd Hoffmann

This patch adds an -audiodev command line option, and deprecates the QEMU_*
environment variables for audio backend configuration. It's syntax is similar to
existing options (-netdev, -device, etc):
 -audiodev driver_name,property=value,...

Audio drivers now get an Audiodev * as config paramters, instead of the global
audio_option structs. There is some code in audio/audio_legacy.c that converts
the old environment variables to audiodev options (this way backends do not have
to worry about legacy options, also print out them with -audio-help, to ease
migrating to -audiodev).

Although now it's possible to specify multiple -audiodev options on command
line, multiple audio backends are not supported yet.

Signed-off-by: Kővágó, Zoltán <DirtY.iCE.hu@gmail.com>

Changes from v1:
* updated to everything usecs without suffix
* better rounding when converting between usecs and frames/samples/bytes
* bugfixes in audio_legacy.c
* fixed code broken by qemu_opts changes by Markus

Copying Eric for additional QAPI schema expertise.

My questions inline, pretty sure they show my ignorance.

Do we have an established term for a "direction"?

If not: the use with 'in' and 'out' tempts me to name the type
AudiodevAlsaIOOptions.

Just rambling, use what you think is best.

We already use seconds, milliseconds and nanoseconds.  You make the zoo
complete.

Who picks the default, QEMU or OSS?

For ALSA, you documented @dev to be "the name", here it's "path".
Intentional difference?

Same as for ALSA.  Keeping them separate is fine with me.

@buffer suggests this is a buffer, not a buffer length given as time

Have you considered making this a flat union, similar ro
BlockdevOptions?

Don't get deceived by the number of my questions, this is solid work.

Can you explain why the complexity is needed, i.e. why we can't just

No idea what d_ means.  Let's rename d_sep to separator.

With that rename:

Sounds dubious :)

Can you explain why it's useful?  I guess later patches provide an
example.

Sounds really good.

Please wrap your commit message lines a bit earlier, around column 70.

The parenthesis isn't as clear as the rest of your message, probably
because it deals with two separate things.  Suggest to move out the bit
about help into its own paragraph.

What happens when I specify multiple -audiodev?

How should the command line look like when multiple audio backends are
supported?

Do we have a clear backward-compatible path from here to there?

Keeping the short names is required for -netdev backward compatibility.

Restricting to short or full (i.e. something= or foo.bar.something=, but
disallow bar.something=) should not be a problem.  I'm not sure this
simplifies things much though.  We have to build the full path anyway,
and I think bar.something= is just a convenient thing we get almost for
free ...

Note that if you really want to produce a valid command line, you would
have to escape any commas in option values. The quotes arounds strings
might not be wanted any more then either.

Seems that no behaviour changes from a block layer perspective, so:

Hmm. The audio backend previously used microseconds, milliseconds, 
Hertz, frames, samples and bytes as time measurement, now at least 
everything use microseconds. Milliseconds precision is not enough, while 
nanosecond precision doesn't really make sense imho.

It defaults to "/dev/dsp".

Yes. For oss you have to provide a filesystem path of the audio device 
(like /dev/dsp), for alsa you provide an alsa specific name, like 
"default", "hw:1,0", "hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1", whatever.

This is the same as alsa's try-poll. They're separate because only these

It should fall back to non-mmapped access (should because when I

Not really. If you qapi masters out there think it's better, then I will

With the current implementation you can specify (see my previous patch) 
in.try-poll=off in case of alsa. If we would need full paths, it would 
look like opts.data.in.try-poll=off, which is probably not something we 
want.

What if they have different types?

What if one of them can't take the value?

The current rule for multiple assignments is "last one wins".  E.g. in

    -drive if=none,file=tmp.img,file=tmp.qcow2

file=tmp.qcow2 wins.

If I understand correctly, this patch amends the rule to "last most
specific one wins".  Correct?

I suspect mostly because NetLegacy and Netdev aren't flat unions.
Could be self-inflicted pain.

What about flattening them instead?  Assuming that's possible; I'd have
to try.

We've been bitten by convenience features before.  Adding them tends to
be cheap, but maintaining compatibility can become a terrible headache.

You get an error and qemu terminates.

> supported?

There's an id property of audiodev, so you can identify them:
-audiodev alsa,id=foo,... -audiodev pa,id=bar,...
and audio devices should get an extra parameter, like audiodev or 
something like that:
-device usb-audio,audiodev=foo -device usb-audio,audiodev=bar
And you have two cards, one connected to the alsa device and the other 
connected to pulseaudio.

>
> Do we have a clear backward-compatible path from here to there?

Currently if you specify an -audiodev option, the environment variables 
are completely ignored, and it will create an audio backend using the 
specified options. If you do not provide an -audiodev, it will 
initialize the audio subsystem using the old environment variables when 
you add the first sound card (so no -audiodev and no sound device means 
no audio subsystem, just like the old times).

About multiple backends: if the user does not specify the id of the 
backend when creating the sound card, just use the first -audiodev 
specified on the command line (or the legacy config, if there's no 
-audiodev). This way we stay backward-compatible (there won't be 
multiple -audiodevs in legacy configs).

I'm just poking fun at our inability to pick a time unit for QAPI/QMP.
No objection to your use of microseconds.

I don't like calling a filename a path, even though we already do in

I agree opts.data.in.try-poll would be an ugly user interface.  But
instead of hiding opts.data. with a convenience feature, I'd like us to
investigate avoiding it altogether.

Oh, crap, ignore this commit. Just realized that in the refactorings I

Not really right now. The default is a NULL pointer (pulseaudio api 
wise), so unless we add an arbitrary keyword (like default), it's not 
possible to ask explicitly for the default. (But omitting them will 
choose the default, of course.)

No, they all have defaults: 44100 Hz, 2 channels and s16 format. I guess

Currently it will error out, requiring the user to be more explicit. 
Probably not the best solution, but I can't really think of a better 
solution. (If we would ignore invalid values that would be very 
confusing imho.)

Yes. (But I didn't really checked that as I didn't know about the "last 
one win", and just thought it's an artifact of the current implementation.)

Good, because it's consistent with how we connect other kinds of
frontends/backends.

Multiple audio frontends (device models) can connect to the same audio
backend, can't they?

Is backend property "id" mandatory?  Hmm, judging from PATCH 1 it isn't.
It generally is for other kinds of backends, e.g. -netdev, -chardev and
(in the future) -blockdev.  It's optional with -drive only because
-drive is crazy.

Old way (before your patch): there is only one audio backend, and it's
configuration comes from a bunch of environment variables.

New way (we're not there yet): you can have multiple audio backends, and
you connect frontends to backends using backend ID as usual, i.e. id=ID
on the backend, audiodev=ID on the frontend.

Required backward compatibility: the old way still works, i.e. when
there's no new-way backend, and no frontend has an audiodev=..., then we
create a backend configured from the environment.

Anything beyond required backward compatibility should be carefully
judged on its UI merits.

If I understand your description correctly, the plan is to default a
frontend's audiodev to the first backend, and if there is none, create
one configured from the environment.  That's definitely beyond required.
Is it a good user interface?

Yes. (It's mandatory, since currently all audio frontends connect to a 
single backend.)

It's optional right now (because I thought specifying an id when you 
have a single backend is pretty pointless), but it's probably better 
then if I change it to mandatory.

Maybe adding a phrase to -audiodev documentation like "If you specify 
this option, the deprecated environment variables will be ignored".

The "create one configured from the environment" is needed for backward 
compatibility. Specifying an audiodev=... on frontend makes no sense 
without an -audiodev, so that's not allowed. The only question is what 
happens with an -audiodev, but no audiodev= on the frontend. We can't 
make audiodev= required because that would break compatibility. So we 
either a) make audiodev= required but only when there's an -audiodev, or 
b) try to find a sensible default when audiodev= is not specified. Imho 
b is better, because having a parameter that's sometimes required, 
sometimes forbidden is a bit confusing.

Treating an empty string like NULL should get us a way to ask for the
default, and a way to document the default concisely, like (default '')
plus a suitable explanation what '' means.

I'm not saying you should do that.  I'm saying whatever you do, document
what happens when an optional parameter is absent :)

Okay, this sort of explains why you have @fixed-settings.

My first thought was that @fixed-settings is redundant, because we can
have any of @frequency, @channels, @format imply fixed settings.  Except
that doesn't let you ask for the *default* fixed settings, as you have
to specify at least one.

What's the default for @fixed-settings?

What if I specify frequency, channels or format together with explicit
fixed-settings: false?

Yes, we clearly don't want foo=0 to set a.foo and b.foo, but foo=x set
only a.foo, because the former can take any string, but the latter only
a number.

Can we require the LHS to be unambiguous?

It's on by default.

They will be ignored.

The audio system currently work like this: when an audio frontend wants 
to open an output with some format (frequency, channels, format) it 
checks fixed-settings. If it's false, it will just open the stream with 
the frontend specified settings. If it's true, it'll convert it into the 
format specified by @frequency, @channels, @format, then pass this 
converted/recoded stream to the backend.

Originally I designed it that way because it allows you to specify 
frequency=44100 and set both in.frequency and out.frequency. But this 
could also be the convenience feature that we not really need. I don't 
see any other downside of making it unambigous.

Elsewhere in the thread, it was suggested that you use a flat union.
That would simplify the full path to opts.in.try-poll, rather than
opts.data.in.try-poll.

Indeed - I think a flat union makes for nicer command line structure,
and fewer {} nesting in QMP structure.  I still need to spend time on
the overall thread, but wanted to chime in on this comment up front.

gcc has the annoying habit that it can warn you about missing enum
labels in a switch statement, but ONLY if you do not use a 'default:'
label.  Warning about missing labels is nice if you plan to add more
enum values down the road (then the compiler helpfully points out all
the code spots that need to deal with the new value) but with the
drawback that non-enum values bypass the switch completely.  So if you
anticipate this set growing, then s/break/abort()/ is all the more you
need.  On the other hand, if the set is pretty much fixed, then
switching to default: covers more cases including non-enum values
assigned into obt->fmt.

So user typically specifies either fixed-settings=off, or any
combination of the other three (including none of them).  Correct?

We could reject the non-sensical combination of fixed-settings=off plus
any of the other three instead of silently ignoring their values.
Matter of taste, your choice.

Whatever you do, make sure to document how these four work together.

Thank you for educating me so patiently.

Is it common to set both to the same value?

We could also default one to the other.  Not sure that's actually a good
idea.

Good to know.

We've struggled with unforeseen aftereffects of cute convenience
features too much, and by now I'm quite reluctant to support them
without a really compelling reason.

Let's make it mandatory for now.  We can always change mandatory to

If we didn't have to do backwards compatibility, we'd make audiodev
mandatory, wouldn't we?

Here's how I'd add back-compat to that baseline.  audiodev becomes
optional, but omitting it is deprecated.  If you do, you implicitly use
the legacy backend that takes its configuration from the environment.
The legacy backend gets created when a frontend is using it.

If you think you got a better way to do it, the person to convince is
Gerd.

I'll try to find time to experiment with flattening your QAPI schema,
perhaps we can make things a bit simpler.

I'm glad you're taking care of turning our bizarro audio UI into
something that actually fits in with the rest.  Much appreciated!

The audio backend currently works like that you can pass any 
non-sensical values to it, like negative frequency, or 'kdp' count of 
channels, it will silently fallback to some default value, or just fail, 
but qemu will continue to run. We can make the new config more strict 
(and we should, I think), so if you have any idea where should we be 
more strict (without creating a backward compatibility headache), don't 
hesitate to point it out.

Approach makes sense to me.  Either the old config scheme is active, for
compatibility, or the new one.  Allowing to mix old+new (use -audiodev,
but don't specify the name to -device soundcard,audiodev=) is not
needed.

cheers,

When a sensible default value exists, making the parameter optional is
usually a good idea.

We should refuse to start on non-sensical configuration, not silently
substitute defaults or disable the affected component (here: audio
backend).

I can't give you more specific guidance, because I'm an audio ignoramus
:)
