OSS SoundBlaster Live! drivers came with an utility called
emu-dspmgr which enabled loading custom-made DSP patches
(code written in Emu10k1's assemby language).
As I am moving from Alsa to Emu10k1, I'm looking for such
an utility in ALSA...
Most of you will probably say that it's not needed, since
ALSA comes with built-in tone control, etc., but I need it
for a reason -- I wrote a simple "DSP patch" which does
a function of "noise gate", and for some simple effects
like chorus, etc (I use it with my guitar).
I wonder whether it is possible with ALSA, in simple questions:
Is there such a thing? Where to get it from
If not, is there a kind of API for writing such utility?
I could help writing it.
If not, is it maybe on some TODO or planned features list?
I could try helping also...
Regards,
Dawid
PS: While we're at it -- I have a weird setup:
I have Headphones connected to "front speakers" exit
I have (2) speakers connected to "digital/LFE" exit
(for couple of "logistic" reasons -- microphone
input is too large to plug it between both
headphones and rear speakers)
I managed to get it working, but I'd like to:
- have alsa emu10k1 "digital/LFE" exit start in analog mode
(the big "pufbwmwmwmwm" sound from boot till starting of
mixer is kind of annoying).
- have mixers renamed -- just a curiosity question, is it
possible, as was with OSS (to attach mixer to different
device)
PPS: I have virtually no experience with ALSA (I did look through
with google and FAQs before writing this mail).
PPPS: I promise to write a hopefully comprehensive ALSA with
Sound Blaster live HOWTO, with all the quirks and oddities
an emu-dspmgr-using OSS convert might want to know, provided
these features are possible.
