The core didn't use these fields, and use of them was inconsistent
accross AOs. Some didn't use them at all. Some only set them; the values
were completely unused by the core. Some made full use of them.
Remove these fields. In places where they are still needed, make them
private AO state.
Remove the --abs option. It set the buffer size for ao_oss and ao_dsound
(being ignored by all other AOs), and was already marked as obsolete. If
it turns out that it's still needed for ao_oss or ao_dsound, their
default buffer sizes could be adjusted, and if even that doesn't help,
AO suboptions could be added in these cases.
Some still do, because they use the value in other places of the init
function. ao_portaudio is tricky and reads ao->bps in the stream
thread, which might be started on initialization (not sure about that,
but better safe than sorry).
Currently every single AO was implementing it's own ringbuffer, many times
with slightly different semantics. This is an attempt to fix the problem.
I stole some good ideas from ao_portaudio's ringbuffer and went from there.
The main difference is this one stores wpos and rpos which are absolute
positions in an "infinite" buffer. To find the actual position for writing /
reading just apply modulo size.
The producer only modifies wpos while the consumer only modifies rpos. This
makes it pretty easy to reason about and make the operations thread safe by
using barriers (thread safety is guaranteed only in the Single-Producer/Single-
Consumer case).
Also adapted ao_coreaudio to use this ringbuffer.
This is hopefully the start of something good. ca_ringbuffer_read and
ca_ringbuffer_write can probably cleaned up from all the NULL checks once
ao_coreaudio.c gets simplyfied.
Conflicts:
audio/out/ao_coreaudio.c
Whatever this was supposed to be originally, it doesn't have much value
anymore. It just forced ad_mpg123 to upmix mono to stereo by default
(the audio chain can do that). As an option, it was mostly useless and
misleading, so get rid of it.
This was overlooked with commit 32a898f, because OSS4 volume control is
typically not available on Linux. BSD does have this feature, so the
broken code broke compilation there.
Fixes crashes when playing with certain numbers of channels. The core
assumes AOs accept data aligned on channels * samplesize, and ao_jack's
play() function broke that assumption:
mpv: core/mplayer.c:2348: fill_audio_out_buffers: Assertion `played % unitsize == 0' failed.
Fix by aligning the buffer and chunk sizes as needed.
Audio and video had their own (very similar) functions to initialize an
AVPacket (ffmpeg's packet struct) from a demux_packet (mplayer's packet
struct). Add a common function for these.
Also use this function for sd_lavc_conv. This is actually a functional
change, as some libavfilter subtitle demuxers add weird out-of-band
stuff as side-data.
GetTimer() is generally replaced with mp_time_us(). Both calls return
microseconds, but the latter uses int64_t, us defined to never wrap,
and never returns 0 or negative values.
GetTimerMS() has no direct replacement. Instead the other functions are
used.
For some code, switch to mp_time_sec(), which returns the time as double
float value in seconds. The returned time is offset to program start
time, so there is enough precision left to deliver microsecond
resolution for at least 100 years. Unless it's casted to a float
(or the CPU reduces precision), which is why we still use mp_time_us()
out of paranoia in places where precision is clearly needed.
Always switch to the correct time. The whole point of the new timer
calls is that they don't wrap, and storing microseconds in unsigned int
variables would negate this.
In some cases, remove wrap-around handling for time values.
The ALSA device was not closed when initialization failed.
The ALSA error handler (set with snd_lib_error_set_handler()) was not
unset when closing ao_alsa. If this is not done, the handler will still
be called when other libraries using ALSA cause errors, even though
ao_alsa was long closed. Since these messages were prefixed with
"[AO_ALSA]", they were misleading and implying ao_alsa was still used.
For some reason, our error handler is still called even after doing
snd_lib_error_set_handler(NULL), which should be impossible. Checking
with the debuggers, inserting printf(), as well as the alsa-lib source
code all suggest our error handler should not be called, but it still
happens. It's a complete mystery.
Mostly copied from vf_lavfi. The parts that could be shared are minor,
because most code is about setting up audio and video, which are too
different.
This won't work with Libav. I used ffplay.c as guide, and noticed too
late that their setup methods are incompatible with Libav's. Trying to
make it work with both would be too much effort. The configure test for
av_opt_set_int_list() should disable af_lavfi gracefully when compiling
with Libav.
Due to option parser chaos, you currently can't have a "," as part of
the filter graph string - not even with quoting or escaping. This will
probably be fixed later.
The audio filter chain is not PTS aware. So we have to do some hacks
to make up a fake PTS, and we have to map the output PTS back to the
filter chain's method of tracking PTS changes and buffering, by
adjusting af->delay.
FFmpeg (as well as Libav) have two layouts called "6.1":
AV_CH_LAYOUT_6POINT1 and AV_CH_LAYOUT_6POINT1_BACK. We call them "6.1"
and "6.1(back)". Change the default layout for 7 channels as well to
return the same layout as av_get_default_channel_layout(). (Looks a bit
questionable, but for now it's better to follow FFmpeg.)
It turns out that ALSA's 4 channel layout is different from mpv's and
ffmpeg's 4.0 layout. Thus trying to do 4 channel output led to incorrect
remixing via lib{av,sw}resample.
Fix the default layouts for the internal filter chain as well, although
I'm not sure if it matters at all.
The libavresample version of the current Libav stable release lacks the
avresample_set_channel_mapping() function. (FFmpeg's libswresample seems
to be fine, because they added swr_set_channel_mapping() first.)
Add a cheap/slow workaround to do channel reordering on our own. We
don't use the recently removed MPlayer code (see commit 586b75a),
because that is not generic enough.
The functionality should be the same as with full-featured
libavresample, and any differences are bugs. It's probably slower,
though.
af_reinit() is responsible for inserting automatic conversion filters
for channel remixing, format conversion, and resampling. We don't
require that a single filter can do all these (even though
af_lavrresample does nearly all of this, sometimes af_format has to be
used instead for format conversions). This makes setting up the chain
more complicated, and a way is needed to prevent endless appending of
conversion filters if a conversion is not possible.
Until now, this used a stupidly simple yet robust static retry limit to
detect failure. This is perfectly fine, and the limit (20) was good
enough to handle about ~5 filters. But with more filters, and if each
filter requires 3 additional conversion filters, this would fail. So
raise the limit to 4 retries per filter. This is still stupidly simple
and robust, but won't arbitrarily fail if the filter count is too large.
To make this easier, get rid of the direct mapping of the
AF_FORMAT_BITS_MASK bit field to number of bytes. This way we can throw
away the unused AF_FORMAT_48BIT and don't have to add ..._56BIT.
The snd_pcm_hw_params_test_format() call actually crashes in alsa-lib if
called with SND_PCM_FORMAT_UNKNOWN, so the already existing fallback
code won't work in this case.
Make all AOs use what has been introduced in the previous commit.
Note that even AOs which can handle all possible layouts (like ao_null)
use the new functions. This might be important if in the future
ao_select_champ() possibly honors global user options about downmixing
and so on.
The point is selecting a minimal fallback. The AOs will call this
through the AO API, so it will be possible to add options affecting
the general channel layout selection.
It provides the following mechanism to AOs:
- forcing the correct channel order
- downmixing to stereo if no layout is available
- allow 5.1 <-> 5.1(side) fallback
- handling "unknown" channel layouts
This is quite weak and lots of code/complexity for little gain. All AOs
already made sure the channel order was correct, and the fallback is of
little value, and could perhaps be done in the frontend instead, like
stereo downmixing with --channels=2 is handled. But I'm not really sure
how this stuff should _really_ work, and the new code will hopefully
provides enough flexibility to make radical changes to channel layout
negotiation easier.
