This one simply tries to simplify the logic to select the
buffer sizes. I am not sure it is necessary but the code
seems a bit more readable to me. And at least i have tried
to document how the buffer sizes are computed.
Thanks to luigi for deciphering one of the most cryptic part of
sound driver.

In SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, if you specify both read and
write channels, the existing code first acts on the
read channel, but as a side effect it updates the
arguments (maxfrags, fragsz) passed by the caller according
to acceptable values for the read channel, and then uses the
modified values to act on the write channel.
The problem with this approach is that, given a
(maxfrags, fragsz) user-specified value, the actual
values computed by the read and write channels may differ:
e.g. the read channel might want to allocate more fragments
than what the user specified because it has no side-effects
on the delay and it helps in case of slow readers,
whereas the write channel needs to use as few fragments
as possible to keep the audio latency low (very important
with telephony apps).
This patch stores the values computed by the read channel
into temproary variables so the write channel will use
the actual arguments of the ioctl.
This patch is very helpful with telephony apps such as asterisk.

- From luigi:
The code to compute fragment sizes in the ich driver almost
invariably ends up using the full buffer available, no matter
how the user specifies fragment size and number.
With audio telephony (8khz, 16bit-stereo) and the 16k buffer
size this results in an unbearable 500ms delay.
This patch makes sure that we never use more than 4 fragments,
(i don't think we need more unless there are huge interrupt
servicing latencies), and obey to the requested fragment size,
so that latency is acceptable.
Based on this (and after much regression tests), I can conclude
that this driver works best with 2 fragments, thus solving various
long standing issues of ICH driver not capable to flush or play
short files perfectly.

distinct hardware playback channels. DAC configuration can be
accessed through kernel hint - hint.pcm.<unit>.dac="val" with
following possible values:
0 = Enable both DACs (default)
1 = Enable single DAC (DAC1)
2 = Enable single DAC (DAC2)
3 = Enable both DACs, swap position (DAC2 comes first instead
of DAC1)
Special case for ES1370:
Unlike ES1371,2,3/CT5880, volume for each DAC 1 and 2 can be
controlled indepedently (synth for DAC1, pcm for DAC2). It is
possible that user will confuse by this behaviour, since both
DACs are enabled by default. Thus, provide a knob through sysctl
hw.snd.pcm<unit>.single_pcm_mixer:
0 = each DACs will be controlled separately (synth/pcm).
1 = combine both DACs volume mixer controller into a single
"pcm" (default)
As a side note, fixed rate operation (provided by previous
commit) is not a mandatory if the configuration space does not
involve DAC2 (perhaps disabled by user through the above kernel
hint). Unlike DAC2, DAC1 has its own register / control space,
not affected by the speed settings of ADC.

It may be the case that you may hear some unwanted noise while
playing back with 24/32 bit. This is a problem in the USB system.
Explanation from Hans Petter Selasky:
---snip---
The current USB sound driver only uses one isochronous
buffer, that is restarted when it is completed. This will lead to a short
period of time, +1ms, where no sound data is sent to the external USB device.
Depending on the load of your computer, this can be as much as 50ms. So the
USB sound driver must use 2 isochronous transfers. At the beginning one will
queue both. Then these are restarted on completion. This will result in a
constant-rate data stream to the external sound device, a minimum sound
buffer equal to the size of the isochronous buffer, and possibly the sound
will reach your ears with less delay. Little delay is a result of constant
data rate. Currently only my USB driver will support that. If one tries that
with the USB driver in *BSD, then it will crash at the first moment one gets
a buffer underrun.

Intel's web site requires some minor tweaks to get it to work:
- The driver seems to have been released with full WMI tracing enabled,
and makes references to some WMI APIs, namely IoWMIRegistrationControl(),
WmiQueryTraceInformation() and WmiTraceMessage(). Only the first
one is ever called (during intialization). These have been implemented
as do-nothing stubs for now. Also added a definition for STATUS_NOT_FOUND
to ntoskrnl_var.h, which is used as a return code for one of the WMI
routines.
- The driver references KeRaiseIrqlToDpcLevel() and KeLowerIrql()
(the latter as a function, which is unusual because normally
KeLowerIrql() is a macro in the Windows DDK that calls KfLowewIrql()).
I'm not sure why these are being called since they're not really
part of WDM. Presumeably they're being used for backwards
compatibility with old versions of Windows. These have been
implemented in subr_hal.c. (Note that they're _stdcall routines
instead of _fastcall.)
- When querying the OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST OID to get a BSSID list,
you don't know ahead of time how many networks the NIC has found
during scanning, so you're allowed to pass 0 as the list length.
This should cause the driver to return an 'insufficient resources'
error and set the length to indicate how many bytes are actually
needed. However for some reason, the Intel driver does not honor
this convention: if you give it a length of 0, it returns some
other error and doesn't tell you how much space is really needed.
To get around this, if using a length of 0 yields anything besides
the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a length of 64K.
This is similar to the hack that wpa_supplicant uses when doing
a BSSID list query.
for code to start out on one CPU when thunking into Windows
mode in ctxsw_utow(), and then be pre-empted and migrated to another
CPU before thunking back to UNIX mode in ctxsw_wtou(). This is
bad, because then we can end up looking at the wrong 'thread environment
block' when trying to come back to UNIX mode. To avoid this, we now
pin ourselves to the current CPU when thunking into Windows code.
Few other cleanups, since I'm here:
- Get rid of the ndis_isr(), ndis_enable_interrupt() and
ndis_disable_interrupt() wrappers from kern_ndis.c and just invoke
the miniport's methods directly in the interrupt handling routines
in subr_ndis.c. We may as well lose the function call overhead,
since we don't need to export these things outside of ndis.ko
now anyway.
- Remove call to ndis_enable_interrupt() from ndis_init() in if_ndis.c.
We don't need to do it there anyway (the miniport init routine handles
it, if needed).
- Fix the logic in NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() a little.
- Change some NDIS_STATUS_xxx codes in subr_ntoskrnl.c into STATUS_xxx
codes.
- Handle kthread_create() failure correctly in PsCreateSystemThread().
