(cherry picked from commit c15c9315b2cb7601cc337f7d5a8e124f4b2d5861)
The unit.* code is largely obsolete and imposes limits that are no
longer needed nowadays.
- Capping the maximum allowed soundcards in a given machine. By default,
the limit is 512 (snd_max_u() in unit.c), and the maximum possible is
2048 (SND_UNIT_UMAX in unit.h). It can also be tuned through the
hw.snd.maxunit loader(8) tunable. Even though these limits are large
enough that they should never cause problems, there is no need for
this limit to exist in the first place.
- Capping the available device/channel types. By default, this is 32
(snd_max_d() in unit.c). However, these types are pre-defined in
pcm/sound.h (see SND_DEV_*), so the cap is unnecessary when we know
that their number is constant.
- Capping the number of channels per-device. By default, the limit 1024
(snd_max_c() in unit.c). This is probably the most problematic of the
limits mentioned, because this limit can never be reached, as the
maximum is hard-capped at either hw.snd.maxautovchans (16 by default),
or SND_MAXHWCHAN and SND_MAXVCHANS.
These limtits are encoded in masks (see SND_U_MASK, SND_D_MASK,
SND_C_MASK in unit.h) and are used to construct a bitfield of the form
[dsp_unit, type, channel_unit] in snd_mkunit() which is assigned to
pcm_channel->unit.
This patch gets rid of everything unit.*-related and makes a slightly
different use of the "unit" field to only contain the channel unit
number. The channel type is stored in a new pcm_channel->type field, and
the DSP unit number need not be stored at all, since we can fetch it
from device_get_unit(pcm_channel->dev). This change has the effect that
we no longer need to impose caps on the number of soundcards,
device/channel types and per-device channels. As a result the code is
noticeably simplified and more readable.
Apart from the fact that the hw.snd.maxunit loader(8) tunable is also
retired as a side-effect of this patch, sound(4)'s behavior remains the
same.

(cherry picked from commit 25723d66369fe6786e9e4f5f77381b944755f267)
Currently the snd_clone framework creates device nodes on-demand for
every channel, through the dsp_clone() callback, and is responsible for
routing audio to the appropriate channel(s). This patch gets rid of the
whole snd_clone framework (including any related sysctls) and instead
uses DEVFS_CDEVPRIV(9) to handle device opening, channel allocation and
audio routing. This results in a significant reduction in code size as
well as complexity.
Behavior that is preserved:
- hw.snd.basename_clone.
- Exclusive access of an audio device (i.e VCHANs disabled).
- Multiple processes can read from/write to the device.
- A device can only be opened as many times as the maximum allowed
channel number (see SND_MAXHWCHAN in pcm/sound.h).
- OSSv4 compatibility aliases are preserved.
Behavior changes:
Only one /dev/dspX device node is created (on attach) for each audio
device, as opposed to the current /dev/dspX.Y devices created by
snd_clone. According to the sound(4) man page, devices are not meant to
be opened through /dev/dspX.Y anyway, so it is best if we do not create
device nodes for them in the first place. As a result of this, modify
dsp_oss_audioinfo() to print /dev/dspX in the "ai->devnode", instead of
/dev/dspX.Y.

As a special compatibility hack, include bsd.owm.mk at the top of
kern.opts.mk to allow the bare build of sys/modules to work on older
systems. If the defaults ever change between 9.x, 10.x and current for
these options, however, you'll wind up with the host OS' defaults
rather than the -current defaults. This hack will be removed when

- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.

Use MACHINE_CPUARCH in preference to MACHINE_ARCH. The former is the
source code location of the machine, the latter the binary output. In
general, we want to use MACHINE_CPUARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH unless
we're tesitng for a specific target. The isn't even moot for
i386/amd64 where there's momemntum towards a MACHINE_CPUARCH == x86,
although a specific cleanup for that likely would be needed...
For a slightly thorough explaination, please refer to
[1] http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/SOUND_4.TXT.html .
Summary of changes includes:
1 Volume Per-Channel (vpc). Provides private / standalone volume control
unique per-stream pcm channel without touching master volume / pcm.
Applications can directly use SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]VOL, or for
backwards compatibility, SOUND_MIXER_PCM through the opened dsp device
instead of /dev/mixer. Special "bypass" mode is enabled through
/dev/mixer which will automatically detect if the adjustment is made
through /dev/mixer and forward its request to this private volume
controller. Changes to this volume object will not interfere with
other channels.
Requirements:
- SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]_VOL are newer ioctls (OSSv4) which
require specific application modifications (preferred).
- No modifications required for using bypass mode, so applications
like mplayer or xmms should work out of the box.
Kernel hints:
- hint.pcm.%d.vpc (0 = disable vpc).
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.vpc_mixer_bypass (default: 1). Enable or disable /dev/mixer
bypass mode.
- hw.snd.vpc_autoreset (default: 1). By default, closing/opening
/dev/dsp will reset the volume back to 0 db gain/attenuation.
Setting this to 0 will preserve its settings across device
closing/opening.
- hw.snd.vpc_reset (default: 0). Panic/reset button to reset all
volume settings back to 0 db.
- hw.snd.vpc_0db (default: 45). 0 db relative to linear mixer value.
2 High quality fixed-point Bandlimited SINC sampling rate converter,
based on Julius O'Smith's Digital Audio Resampling -
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/. It includes a filter design
script written in awk (the clumsiest joke I've ever written)
- 100% 32bit fixed-point, 64bit accumulator.
- Possibly among the fastest (if not fastest) of its kind.
- Resampling quality is tunable, either runtime or during kernel
compilation (FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS).
- Quality can be further customized during kernel compilation by
defining FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.feeder_rate_quality.
0 - Zero-order Hold (ZOH). Fastest, bad quality.
1 - Linear Interpolation (LINEAR). Slightly slower than ZOH,
better quality but still does not eliminate aliasing.
2 - (and above) - Sinc Interpolation(SINC). Best quality. SINC
quality always start from 2 and above.
Rough quality comparisons:
- http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/
3 Bit-perfect mode. Bypasses all feeder/dsp effects. Pure sound will be
directly fed into the hardware.
4 Parametric (compile time) Software Equalizer (Bass/Treble mixer). Can
be customized by defining FEEDER_EQ_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
5 Transparent/Adaptive Virtual Channel. Now you don't have to disable
vchans in order to make digital format pass through. It also makes
vchans more dynamic by choosing a better format/rate among all the
concurrent streams, which means that dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat/rate
becomes sort of optional.
6 Exclusive Stream, with special open() mode O_EXCL. This will "mute"
other concurrent vchan streams and only allow a single channel with
O_EXCL set to keep producing sound.
Other Changes:
* most feeder_* stuffs are compilable in userland. Let's not
speculate whether we should go all out for it (save that for
FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE).
* kobj signature fixups, thanks to Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org>
* pull out channel mixing logic out of vchan.c and create its own
feeder_mixer for world justice.
* various refactoring here and there, for good or bad.
* activation of few more OSSv4 ioctls() (see [1] above).
* opt_snd.h for possible compile time configuration:
