From 315a3d57c64c55901d6fe5a5eef3b3e51d215381 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ivan Orlov Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 23:32:53 +0400 Subject: ALSA: Implement the new Virtual PCM Test Driver We have a lot of different virtual media drivers, which can be used for testing of the userspace applications and media subsystem middle layer. However, all of them are aimed at testing the video functionality and simulating the video devices. For audio devices we have only snd-dummy module, which is good in simulating the correct behavior of an ALSA device. I decided to write a tool, which would help to test the userspace ALSA programs (and the PCM middle layer as well) under unusual circumstances to figure out how they would behave. So I came up with this Virtual PCM Test Driver. This new Virtual PCM Test Driver has several features which can be useful during the userspace ALSA applications testing/fuzzing, or testing/fuzzing of the PCM middle layer. Not all of them can be implemented using the existing virtual drivers (like dummy or loopback). Here is what can this driver do: - Simulate both capture and playback processes - Generate random or pattern-based capture data - Inject delays into the playback and capturing processes - Inject errors during the PCM callbacks Also, this driver can check the playback stream for containing the predefined pattern, which is used in the corresponding selftest to check the PCM middle layer data transferring functionality. Additionally, this driver redefines the default RESET ioctl, and the selftest covers this PCM API functionality as well. The driver supports both interleaved and non-interleaved access modes, and have separate pattern buffers for each channel. The driver supports up to 4 channels and up to 8 substreams.
