[Alsa-user] PDAudio on the Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 ?

2006-08-26 Thread Michael Chapman

PDAudio on the Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 (also known as Spitz and Teriier) ?

I spoke with Core Sound the PDAudio card's manufacturer, briefly on the 
telephone on August 4th 2006. I was informed that the card works with Linux 
laptops, but only Windows PDAs. For Linux, though, I should consult ALSA.
(The card is a CF card and has one input: 'optical sound', which it converts 
for use by the computer. No external output.)

There is work on PDAs on the web: e.g. 
http://www.mega-nerd.com/PDAudio/pdaudio.pdf
and 
http://www.mega-nerd.com/PDAudio/v0.7.1/pdaudio/armv4l/pdaudio_0.65-6_armv4l.ipk
The files are though dated 2004.

The Core Sound site offers a download 
http://www.core-sound.com/pdaudio-cf/9.php of a tarball containing PDAudio 
Recorder (Linux) and the 0.9.6 ALSA package (including the PDAudio-CF 
driver) from 
http://www.core-sound.com/pdaudio-cf/pdaudio-alsa-20031001.tar.gz. The same 
page notes 2/26/2004: The folks maintaining Linux's ALSA system have moved 
PDAudio-CF's driver the alsa-driver module to alsa-kernel tree. It is merged 
to latest 2.6.3-mm3 kernel from Andrew Morton and will be integrated into 
Linus's official 2.6 tree sometime soon.

The Core Sound tarball provides (among other things) /usr/bin/PDAudio.
Calling that on the Zaurus with Opie resulted in a series of dependency 
problems. These were easily solved (note (a) OpenZaurus has libxi not the 
requested libXi and that (b) another is satisfied by a symbolic link from 
*.so.1 to *.so.0).
The output then is:
Control hw:1 open error: No such file or directory
OPTICAL
Bad directory : /home/user
which is fair enough as the card is not recognised.

cat /proc/asound/cards only lists the onboard card not the CF card.

(Though the Configure PCMCIA/CF Card dialogue on Opie does correctly list 
the card by CardName:.)

lsmod does not list snd-pdaudiocf. There is no module of that name (or with 
the string pdaudio) in the directory tree.

The Opie / OpenZaurs provides ALSA packages, e.g 
alsa-utils-aplay_1.0.10-r0_arm.ipk But these do not _seem_ to support the 
PDAudio card (???).

Certainly installing these and _then_ the pdaudio-alsa-20031001.tar.gz 
tarball causes overwriting and errors such as:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:685:(snd_pcm_hw_mmap_status) status
failed : No such device or address
arecord: main:503: audio open error: No such device or address.

There is a helpful page Core Sound PDAudio-CF on the ALSA site, but this 
presumes compiling from ALSA sources. Something I cannot even manage on a 
laptop (with a 'distribution') and I suspect is non-trivial (if possible) on 
a PDA.

This seems to have been a recurrent question when I have googled, but I have 
not found any successful reports (except arguably Erik de Castro Lopo's paper 
(the PDF cited above) from January 2004).

Can anyone add to the above?

Thanks,

Michael

Sorry that it has. Every time I posted it I received a 'bounced' message 
because the server did not like my IP address 1.7 RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL RBL: 
NJABL: dialup sender. So I tried sending from a different IP.

bad debût to the list . . . :-(
