Audio miniconference schedule

As previously announced there's an audio miniconference happening on the
21st in Edinburgh:

   https://blog.sirena.org.uk/2018/09/19/2018-linux-audio-miniconfernce

(yes there is a typo in the URL).  A number of people have proposed
topics so I just went through them and pulled them into a proposed
agenda:

  - Virtualization (Liam)
  - SoundWire (Liam)
  - Byte controls (Vinod)
  - GObject introspection for language bindings (Sakamoto-san)
  - Integrating the ALSA control core (Sakamoto-san)
  - AGL (Stephane/Ronan)
  - Y2038 (broonie)
  - AVB (Liam)
  - DSPs (Liam)
   - Sound Open Firmware

What do people think?  Any other topics?  There's still time to sign up
if you're interested in attending, you can sign up right up to the day
of the event.

It also seems good to mention that there's another audio event going on
around ELC:

   https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2018/09/24/getting-the-team-together-to-revolutionize-linux-audio/

which is a hackathon for a new userspace stack called PipeWire - if we
have someone attending who knows about that I think it'd be good to talk
about it too.

I would also like to add rate domains and propagation to the
list. I have actually managed to get some time to look at this
and am going to post some RFC patches early next week. Happy to
talk through my thinking at the conference.

Would be handy if people could sign up at least a couple of days
earlier, can probably still handle people coming on the day but
makes life simpler for us all if I can provide a list of people
in advance to facilaties here.

Thanks,
Charles

That'd be great, I'll add it!

Yes, and also for the dinner in the evening.

I just put myself and otpics on the sign-up list though still working
out the travel plan. What time will the summit start on Oct 21? I plan
to arrive in Edinburgh around 8:00 AM

Excellent news!  We were expecting on kicking off around 9ish
(realistically it will be a bit later depending on people arriving and
getting sorted out) which would be cutting it a little fine for you to
hit the exact start even if you came directly to the Cirrus offices, I
think the best thing would be to pull topics like AVB which I expect to
be less relevant for you forwards in the schedule until you arrive.

I'll update the schedule this week (ideally later today) based on the
feedback collected thus far, if there's anything that's early on in the
schedule that you're particularly keen to discuss let me know.

As previously announced there's an audio miniconference happening on the
21st in Edinburgh, meeting around 9am and getting started once enough
people have arrived (Cirrus people, please let me know if we need to
start later, some people have said they'll be arriving late so we won't
wait for everyone):

   https://blog.sirena.org.uk/2018/09/19/2018-linux-audio-miniconfernce

(yes there is a typo in the URL).  A number of people have proposed
topics so I just went through them and pulled them into a proposed
agenda, this time revised following feedback last time:

  - Virtualization (Liam)
  - AVB (Liam)
  - SoundWire (Liam)
  - GObject introspection for language bindings (Sakamoto-san)
  - Integrating the ALSA control core (Sakamoto-san)
  - DSPs (Liam)
   - Sound Open Firmware (Liam)
   - Byte controls (Vinod/Patrick)
   - Calibration loading (Patrick)
   - Exposing graph at runtime (Patrick)
   - Batching commands (Patrick)
  - AGL (Stephane/Ronan)

I've dropped Y2038 from the expliit schedule, since Arnd Bergmann (who's
been driving a lot of the general Y2038 work) will be in Edinburgh and
may be free to join I'm suggesting that if he's free we cover that
either first thing or just after lunch and otherwise Takashi and I will
try to coordinate with him during ELC-E (unless others have a great
enthusiasm for the subject).

What do people think?  Any other topics?  There's still time to sign up
if you're interested in attending, you can sign up right up to the day
of the event though registering early would help a lot with logistics.

I haven't registered ELCE this year but only the audio mini-conf and
maintainers summit, but maybe we can catch him on Monday.

Sorry for the late action, here are some items that came to my mind:

- Possible PCM improvements:
  We still miss some information like the granularity.  Although we
  had some discussions in the past, it didn't happen in the end.
  It's a good chance to revive the ideas.

  Also, PCM timestamping is another relevant topic.  It's still rarely
  used, so far.  Can we make a broader usage?

- ASoC / ALSA core merges:
  Would it make sense to move some core stuff out of ASoC?
  e.g. DPCM isn't strictly ASoC-specific things.
  Also, it'd be great if we can foresee the plan for ASoC core
  refactoring that is currently going on.

- Testing:
  My pet peeve.  I'd love to see some stuff, especially for ASoC, that
  can run on VM, and let fuzzers whipping on it.
  Also, USB audio can be virtualized.  What else?  (not only about VM
  testing but also a real hardware testing.)

- Community governance, maintenance issues:
  It's a hot topic in kernel, yeah.  Do we see any issues in audio?


thanks,

Takashi

All three of us will be at the maintainers summit so I think we'll be
able to get some time to talk if we don't manage Sunday.  There were
some TBD slots at the maintainers summit, we could see if we can get
ALSA Y2038 ABI on the list there :)

> Sorry for the late action, here are some items that came to my mind:

All good topics, I'll add them in - Charles had some ideas for the ASoC
refactoring already which I managed to drop off the list (sorry Charles)
which is mostly the same thing at this point.

There's a whole testing summit on Thursday...  :/  I don't think there's
much argument with the ASoC stuff, but I also don't think there's anyone
with the right combination of time and enthusiasm to do the work at the
minute.

Hi Mark and all,

Is it possible to set up network meeting that any hobbies can dial in 
and join in remotely?

I would assume so, I'm pretty sure it's standard technology in Cirrus,
though we'll have to see how well it works in practice (these things are
always a bit "fun").  We hadn't planned anything yet though.

I'd guess that probably the safest thing would be if one of the Intel
people has a laptop with whatever conferencing software you usually use
internally they can bring that in and call you, or at least message with
you about getting stuff set up if we set some other solution up.

Yeah it will probably have to be Lync if we are setting it up
with Cirrus stuff, but should be do-able.

Hi all,

I would recommend to use a browser like services like
http://bluejeans.com/ or https://www.gotomeeting.com/ . Both seem to be
really usable and there is no requirement to install a special client
application to join.

Thanks,
	Jaroslav (who is not able to participate physically this year)

Below items are detail of topics from me:
  * Integrating the ALSA control core
   * Obsolete 'dimen' member in container for information to an element
   * Remove limitation on a container for value array to an element
   * User-defined element set left by finished process
   * Expand restriction to the number of user-defined control element set
     per sound card
  * Another approach to produce language bindings by GObject Introspection.

You can see the resource here (WIP):

Several hours later I leave to Edinburgh. See you later.

Thanks Mark for the great organization, I enjoyed the meeting in this
year very much (as always), and thanks Cirrus for a really nice venue!

If anyone can share the notes, it'd be great.

I would like to say big thanks too.

Although I was silent (mostly doing a heavy ping-pong between the family
and the remote meeting session), I monitored the topics. I will post
github/CI information separately.

Mark's notes are here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JtjpSGkMMCeDK43LTc0yLrOer1QL5JwxPQMmHFAL55o

If anyone has something more, please, add a link to this document.
Perhaps, I should create a copy to www.alsa-project.org.

Oh, that's a good surprise.  We wondered whether the line reached
you.

That would be great to have this on www.alsa-project.org, I think
presentations from Sakamoto-san, Charles and Patrick should be uploaded
there as well..

Ah where, can this be uploaded to www.alsa-project.org as well please..

I reformated notes to mediawiki markup and notes for both years are
available from the main page. Here are direct links:

My goal is to type them up into something a bit more usefully readable,
that's not going to happen until Friday at the earliest due to ELC-E
stuff.

Audio miniconference schedule

[Mark Brown]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2285 bytes --]

As previously announced there's an audio miniconference happening on the
21st in Edinburgh, meeting around 9am and getting started once enough
people have arrived (Cirrus people, please let me know if we need to
start later, some people have said they'll be arriving late so we won't
wait for everyone):

   https://blog.sirena.org.uk/2018/09/19/2018-linux-audio-miniconfernce

(yes there is a typo in the URL).  A number of people have proposed
topics so I just went through them and pulled them into a proposed
agenda, revised again after further feedback:

  - Introductions
  - Community governence issues (Takashi)
  - Virtualization (Liam)
  - AVB (Liam)
  - Testing (Takashi)
  - PCM improvements (Takashi)
   - Granularity
   - Timestamping
  - SoundWire (Liam)
  - Integrating the ALSA control core (Sakamoto-san)
   - Obsolete 'dimen' member in container for information to an element
   - Remove limitation on a container for value array to an element
   - User-defined element set left by finished process
   - Expand restriction to the number of user-defined control element set
     per sound card
  - Another approach to produce language bindings by GObject Introspection
    (Sakamoto-san)
  - ASoC rate domains/core refactoring (Charles)
  - ASoC/ALSA core merging (Takashi)
  - DSPs (Liam)
   - Sound Open Firmware (Liam)
   - Byte controls (Vinod/Patrick)
   - Calibration loading (Patrick)
   - Exposing graph at runtime (Patrick)
   - Batching commands (Patrick)
  - AGL (Stephane/Ronan)

I hope I've not missed anything people suggested, the schedule is now
looking pretty full but I'm hoping some of these topics can be
relatively brief.

I've dropped Y2038 from the expliit schedule, since Arnd Bergmann (who's
been driving a lot of the general Y2038 work) will be in Edinburgh and
may be free to join I'm suggesting that if he's free we cover that
either first thing or just after lunch and otherwise Takashi and I will
try to coordinate with him during the Maintainer's Summit on Monday
(unless others have a great enthusiasm for the subject).

What do people think?  Any other topics?  There's still time to sign up
if you're interested in attending, you can sign up right up to the day
of the event though registering early would help a lot with logistics.
