Re: [Patch v2] ALSA: compress: allow to leave draining state when pausing in draining

[Robert Lee]

Hi Takashi,

It is a little complex to describe the design in detail, but try to
explain simply
what issue we meet.

If w/o the change,  after user resumes from the pause, our system would call
snd_compr_drain() or snd_compr_partial_drain() again after it returns from
previous drain (when EOF reaches). Then it will block in this drain and no one
wake it up because EOF has already reached. I add this change to return from
the previous drain.

And yes, after user resumes it, it will change state to RUNNING. Then it will
call snd_compr_drain() or snd_compr_partial_drain() very soon and change
state to DRAINING again.

Actually, I am wondering how the pause-during-drain can keep the state in
DRAINING. It should have a different design. :)

I also checked the snd_compr_open() comment, and it doesn't mention that
we cannot pause in DRAINING state. Looks like it needs to be updated according
to these changes. Maybe it can be updated in another commit?

* SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DRAINING: When stream is draining current data. This is done
 *      by calling SNDRV_COMPRESS_DRAIN.
 * SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PAUSED: When stream is paused. This is done by calling
 *      SNDRV_COMPRESS_PAUSE. It can be stopped or resumed by calling
 *      SNDRV_COMPRESS_STOP or SNDRV_COMPRESS_RESUME respectively.

thanks,
Robert.
