Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[hkphantomgtr]

Native DSD. One of the most asked feature requests for Snakeoil. In the past you guys need to generate a diangostic file, send it to me, and I'd add the necessary codes to make it work. Not anymore!


Here's the prototype of the kernel that'll read a configuration file, and set your DSD output accordingly.


The above configuration will result in this:

Code:

XENRAN Audio HD USB Audio at usb-0000:02:04.0-2.1, full speed : USB Audio

Playback:
  Status: Stop
  Interface 2
    Altset 1
    Format: S16_LE
    Channels: 2
    Endpoint: 3 OUT (ASYNC)
    Rates: 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000
  Interface 2
    Altset 2
    Format: S24_3LE DSD_U16_LE
    Channels: 2
    Endpoint: 3 OUT (ASYNC)
    Rates: 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000
  Interface 2
    Altset 3
    Format: S32_LE
    Channels: 2
    Endpoint: 3 OUT (ASYNC)
    Rates: 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000

The beauty of this? This one single kernel will now work for all native DSD DACs (you just have to enter the parameters yourself). And there is no need to reboot the PC, just disconnect and reconnect and the new settings will be applied.

That's the kernel bits out of the way (mostly). Going to work on the GUI next. Not entirely sure how to approach this at the moment, so stay tuned. 

You're so gifted!  Thanks for your great work!
