Revert "ALSA: echoaudio: purge contradictions between dimension matrix members and total number of members"
This reverts commit 275353bb684e to fix a regression which can abort 'alsactl' program in alsa-utils due to assertion in alsa-lib. alsactl: control.c:2513: snd_ctl_elem_value_get_integer: Assertion `idx < sizeof(obj->value.integer.value) / sizeof(obj->value.integer.value[0])' failed. alsactl: control.c:2976: snd_ctl_elem_value_get_integer: Assertion `idx < ARRAY_SIZE(obj->value.integer.value)' failed. This commit is a band-aid. In a point of usage of ALSA control interface, the drivers still bring an issue that they prevent userspace applications to have a consistent way to parse each levels of the dimension information via ALSA control interface. Let me investigate this issue. Current implementation of the drivers have three control element sets with dimension information: * 'Monitor Mixer Volume' (type: integer) * 'VMixer Volume' (type: integer) * 'VU-meters' (type: boolean) Although the number of elements named as 'Monitor Mixer Volume' differs depending on drivers in this group, it can be calculated by macros defined by each driver (= (BX_NUM - BX_ANALOG_IN) * BX_ANALOG_IN). Each of the elements has one member for value and has dimension information with 2 levels (= BX_ANALOG_IN * (BX_NUM - BX_ANALOG_IN)). For these elements, userspace applications are expected to handle the dimension information so that all of the elements construct a matrix where the number of rows and columns are represented by the dimension information. The same way is applied to elements named as 'VMixer Volume'. The number of these elements can also be calculated by macros defined by each drivers (= PX_ANALOG_IN * BX_ANALOG_IN). Each of the element has one member for value and has dimension information with 2 levels (= BX_ANALOG_IN * PX_ANALOG_IN). All of the elements construct a matrix with the dimension information. An element named as 'VU-meters' gets a different way in a point of dimension information. The element includes 96 members for value. The element has dimension information with 3 levels (= 3 or 2 * 16 * 2). For this element, userspace applications are expected to handle the dimension information so that all of the members for value construct a matrix where the number of rows and columns are represented by the dimension information. This is different from the way for the former. As a summary, the drivers were not designed to produce a consistent way to parse the dimension information. This makes it hard for general userspace applications such as amixer to parse the information by a consistent way, and actually no userspace applications except for 'echomixer' utilize the dimension information. Additionally, no drivers excluding this group use the information. The reverted commit was written based on the latter way. A commit 860c1994a70a ('ALSA: control: add dimension validator for userspace elements') is written based on the latter way, too. The patch should be reconsider too in the same time to re-define a consistent way to parse the dimension information. Reported-by: Mark Hills <mark@xwax.org> Reported-by: S.
