# ALSA soundcard-configuration config SND_TIMER tristate config SND_PCM tristate select SND_TIMER config SND_HWDEP tristate config SND_RAWMIDI tristate # To be effective this also requires INPUT - users should say: # select SND_JACK if INPUT=y || INPUT=SND # to avoid having to force INPUT on. config SND_JACK bool config SND_SEQUENCER tristate "Sequencer support" select SND_TIMER help Say Y or M to enable MIDI sequencer and router support. This feature allows routing and enqueueing of MIDI events. Events can be processed at a given time. Many programs require this feature, so you should enable it unless you know what you're doing. config SND_SEQ_DUMMY tristate "Sequencer dummy client" depends on SND_SEQUENCER help Say Y here to enable the dummy sequencer client. This client is a simple MIDI-through client: all normal input events are redirected to the output port immediately. You don't need this unless you want to connect many MIDI devices or applications together. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-seq-dummy. config SND_OSSEMUL select SOUND_OSS_CORE bool config SND_MIXER_OSS tristate "OSS Mixer API" select SND_OSSEMUL help To enable OSS mixer API emulation (/dev/mixer*), say Y here and read <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/OSS-Emulation.txt>. Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-mixer-oss. config SND_PCM_OSS tristate "OSS PCM (digital audio) API" select SND_OSSEMUL select SND_PCM help To enable OSS digital audio (PCM) emulation (/dev/dsp*), say Y here and read <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/OSS-Emulation.txt>. Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-pcm-oss. config SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS bool "OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system" depends on SND_PCM_OSS default y help If you disable this option, the ALSA's OSS PCM API will not support conversion of channels, formats and rates. It will behave like most of new OSS/Free drivers in 2.4/2.6 kernels. config SND_SEQUENCER_OSS bool "OSS Sequencer API" depends on SND_SEQUENCER select SND_OSSEMUL help Say Y here to enable OSS sequencer emulation (both /dev/sequencer and /dev/music interfaces). Many programs still use the OSS API, so say Y. If you choose M in "Sequencer support" (SND_SEQUENCER), this will be compiled as a module. The module will be called snd-seq-oss. config SND_HRTIMER tristate "HR-timer backend support" depends on HIGH_RES_TIMERS select SND_TIMER help Say Y here to enable HR-timer backend for ALSA timer. ALSA uses the hrtimer as a precise timing source. The ALSA sequencer code also can use this timing source. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-hrtimer. config SND_SEQ_HRTIMER_DEFAULT bool "Use HR-timer as default sequencer timer" depends on SND_HRTIMER && SND_SEQUENCER default y help Say Y here to use the HR-timer backend as the default sequencer timer. config SND_RTCTIMER tristate "RTC Timer support" depends on RTC select SND_TIMER help Say Y here to enable RTC timer support for ALSA. ALSA uses the RTC timer as a precise timing source and maps the RTC timer to ALSA's timer interface. The ALSA sequencer code also can use this timing source. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called snd-rtctimer. Note that this option is exclusive with the new RTC drivers (CONFIG_RTC_CLASS) since this requires the old API. config SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT bool "Use RTC as default sequencer timer" depends on SND_RTCTIMER && SND_SEQUENCER depends on !SND_SEQ_HRTIMER_DEFAULT default y help Say Y here to use the RTC timer as the default sequencer timer. This is strongly recommended because it ensures precise MIDI timing even when the system timer runs at less than 1000 Hz. If in doubt, say Y. config SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS bool "Dynamic device file minor numbers" help If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically. This allows you to have more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file system like udev. If you are unsure about this, say N here. config SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API bool "Support old ALSA API" default y help Say Y here to support the obsolete ALSA PCM API (ver.0.9.0 rc3 or older). config SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS bool "Verbose procfs contents" depends on PROC_FS default y help Say Y here to include code for verbose procfs contents (provides useful information to developers when a problem occurs). On the other side, it makes the ALSA subsystem larger. config SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK bool "Verbose printk" help Say Y here to enable verbose log messages. These messages will help to identify source file and position containing printed messages. You don't need this unless you're debugging ALSA. config SND_DEBUG bool "Debug" help Say Y here to enable ALSA debug code. config SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE bool "More verbose debug" depends on SND_DEBUG help Say Y here to enable extra-verbose debugging messages. Let me repeat: it enables EXTRA-VERBOSE DEBUGGING messages. So, say Y only if you are ready to be annoyed. config SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG bool "Enable PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging" default n depends on SND_DEBUG && SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS help Say Y to enable the PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging. It is usually not required, but if you have trouble with sound clicking when system is loaded, it may help to determine the process or driver which causes the scheduling gaps. config SND_VMASTER bool
