osscore - Open Sound Sytem core audio framework.
5
Open Sound System core audio support psudo driver. This driver implements the core Open Sound System API for audio, midi, mixer and synth functions. This driver also implements the OS driver interface as well as device configuration and setup.

More information on programming on the OSS API is avaialable at:

o ac97_recselect When set to 1 this option enables independent
11
recording source selection for the left and the right channel
12
on AC97 devices. In this way it's possible to record audio
13
streams so that (for example) the left channel signal comes
14
from the microphone and
15
the right channel signal from line-in. However when this
16
option is enabled it's only possible to select the recording
17
source by using a fully OSS 4.0 compatible mixer program such
19
Default: 0 - recording source is common to both channels.
20
o ac97_amplifier When set to 1 this option enables the speaker power
21
amplifier feature of AC97 codec (if available).
22
Some boards have this inverted, so this feature can be
23
disabled by setting this option to 0.
24
Affects all AC97 based audio devices in the system.
25
Default: -1=autodetect correct setting.
26
o cooked_enable By default OSS will let applications to use sampling
27
rates and formats that are not supported by the hardware.
28
Instead OSS performs the necessary format conversions in
29
software. Applications that don't tolerate this kind of
30
conversions usually disable them by using features of the OSS
31
API (SNDCTL_DSP_COOKEDMODE). If this option is set to 0 then
32
the format conversions will be disabled for all applications
33
and devices unless the application explicitly enables them.
34
Default: 1 - conversions are enabled.
35
This option should not be changed without very strong reasons.
36
o detect_trace Internal debugging (do not change). Default: 0
37
o dma_buffsize By default OSS will allocate audio DMA buffers with some
38
system dependent default size (usually 64k but sometimes
39
smaller). It is possible to change this default allocation by
40
setting this option. Value of 0 means that the default size
41
will be used. Value between 16 and 128 (kilobytes) can be used
42
if the default size is not suitable for some reason.
43
Default: 0 - system dependent buffsize.
44
This option mustn't be changed unless it's absolutely necessary.
45
o max_intrate Set the maximum number of interrupts per second.
46
Default: 100 interrupts per second which equals to about
47
10 msec minimum latencies.
48
o vmix_disabled The virtual mixer subsystem can be disabled by setting
49
this configuration option to 1.
50
Default: 0 - virtual mixer is enabled.
51
o vmix_loopdevs Optionally the virtual mixer subsystem can create
52
special loopback audio devices that can be used to record the
53
output mix sent to the device. This option tells how many
54
loopback devices will be created (0, 1 or 2). If there are
55
multiple audio devices in the system the all of them will have
56
the same number of loopback devices.
57
Default: 0 - no loopback devices are created.
58
This setting should be left to 0 unless there are specific
59
reasons to enable the loopback devices.
60
o vmix_no_autoattach By default (0) the low level
61
drivers for most sound cards will automatically
62
attach virtual mixer (vmix) to the primary audio devices of the cards.
63
In some situations it may be necessary to attach virtual mixer using
64
nonstandard parameters. If vmix_no_autoattach is set to 1 then user
65
can use vmixctl attach command to attach virtual mixer manually to
67
Default: 0 - Automatically attach virtual mixer.
68
o excl_policy The O_EXCL open() flag can be used by programs to bypass the
69
virtual mixer. Setting excl_policy to 1 or 2 makes OSS ignore O_EXCL.
70
A setting of 1 ignores O_EXCL from all but root processes,
71
while a setting of 2 always ignores O_EXCL.
72
Default: 0 - Do not ignore O_EXCL.
73
o mixer_muted By default OSS will set most volume controls to audible level.
74
If this causes problems then it's possible to ask OSS to set
75
the levels to zero when the drivers are loaded. However the
76
levels saved with the savemixer utility will get loaded few
77
moments later when all OSS drivers have been started. Note that
78
just some of the OSS drivers honor this setting.
79
Values: 0 (default) - Use audible volumes, 1 - Set volumes to low.
