[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Always apply the hw constraints for implicit fb sync

[Takashi Iwai]

Since the commit 5a6c3e11c9c9 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Add hw constraint for
implicit fb sync"), we apply the hw constraints for the implicit
feedback sync to make the secondary open aligned with the already
opened stream setup.  This change assumed that the secondary open is
performed after the first stream has been already set up, and adds the
hw constraints to sync with the first stream's parameters only when
the EP setup for the first stream was confirmed at the open time.
However, most of applications handling the full-duplex operations do
open both playback and capture streams at first, then set up both
streams.  This results in skipping the additional hw constraints since
the counter-part stream hasn't been set up yet at the open of the
second stream, and it eventually leads to "incompatible EP" error in
the end.

This patch corrects the behavior by always applying the hw constraints
for the implicit fb sync.  The hw constraint rules are defined so that
they check the sync EP dynamically at each invocation, instead.  This
covers the concurrent stream setups better and lets the hw refine
calls resolving to the right configuration.

Also this patch corrects a minor error that has existed in the debug
print that isn't built as default.

This patched was developed primarily as an attemp for the regression
of Pioneer devices.  Although Pioneer devices have still some issues
after this patch, this one itself should be good for all devices in
general.

Keith, Dylan, could you verify that this doesn't break things for your
devices?

Re: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Always apply the hw constraints for implicit fb sync

[marco]

Hi,

This patch introduces the lock of the sample rate which doesn't follow my configuration of switching the sample rate to a multiple of the audio playing. Moreover it feels that the playing speed isn't accurate (slightly accelerated) when playing an audio file which has a non multiple of the locked sample rate.

Similar bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1930199

For information, upgrading from pulseaudio 13 to 15 has the effect of achieving the speakers balance at 100% volume only. If I lower the volume, it kills one side.

My soundcard is a usb Audient id14.

Could you point me to the right place to post the bug if not relevant here, or/and give me instructions how to revert the patch for a recent 5.17x kernel.

Thanks,

Marco
