[PATCH?] OSS: fix operator precedence in return of btaudio_dsp_ioctl

From: Roel Kluin
Date: Thu Nov 29 2007 - 13:19:51 EST


First of all, is /sound/oss/* still maintained?

#define HWBASE_AD (448000)
...
with if(bta->analog) evaluating to true bta->decimation may range
from 15 to 5
...
HWBASE_AD*4/bta->decimation>>bta->sampleshift

which is equivalent to

((HWBASE_AD * 4)/bta->decimation) >> bta->sampleshift

actually may evaluate to something like:

(1792000 / 15 ) >> bta->sampleshift

Isn't intended (HWBASE_AD * 4)/(bta->decimation >> bta->sampleshift)?
Then consider the patch below.
