103	bool "OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system"
104	depends on SND_PCM_OSS
105	default y
106	help
107	  If you disable this option, the ALSA's OSS PCM API will not
108	  support conversion of channels, formats and rates. It will
109	  behave like most of new OSS/Free drivers in 2.4/2.6 kernels.
110
111config SND_PCM_TIMER
112	bool "PCM timer interface" if EXPERT
113	default y
114	help
115	  If you disable this option, pcm timer will be unavailable, so
116	  those stubs that use pcm timer (e.g. dmix, dsnoop & co) may work
117	  incorrectly.
118
119	  For some embedded devices, we may disable it to reduce memory
120	  footprint, about 20KB on x86_64 platform.
121
122config SND_HRTIMER

124	depends on HIGH_RES_TIMERS
125	select SND_TIMER
126	help
127	  Say Y here to enable HR-timer backend for ALSA timer.  ALSA uses
128	  the hrtimer as a precise timing source. The ALSA sequencer code
129	  also can use this timing source.
130
131	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
132	  will be called snd-hrtimer.
133
134config SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS
135	bool "Dynamic device file minor numbers"
136	help
137	  If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in
138	  /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically.  This allows you to have
139	  more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file
140	  system like udev.
141
142	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
143
144config SND_MAX_CARDS
145	int "Max number of sound cards"

151	  on a single machine.
152
153config SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API
154	bool "Support old ALSA API"
155	default y
156	help
157	  Say Y here to support the obsolete ALSA PCM API (ver.0.9.0 rc3
158	  or older).
159
160config SND_PROC_FS
161	bool "Sound Proc FS Support" if EXPERT
162	depends on PROC_FS
163	default y
164	help
165	  Say 'N' to disable Sound proc FS, which may reduce code size about
166	  9KB on x86_64 platform.
167	  If unsure say Y.
168
169config SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS
170	bool "Verbose procfs contents"
171	depends on SND_PROC_FS
172	default y
173	help
174	  Say Y here to include code for verbose procfs contents (provides
175	  useful information to developers when a problem occurs).  On the
176	  other side, it makes the ALSA subsystem larger.
177
178config SND_CTL_FAST_LOOKUP
179	bool "Fast lookup of control elements" if EXPERT
180	default y
181	select XARRAY_MULTI
182	help
183	  This option enables the faster lookup of control elements.
184	  It will consume more memory because of the additional Xarray.
185	  If you want to choose the memory footprint over the performance
186	  inevitably, turn this off.
187
188config SND_DEBUG
189	bool "Debug"
190	help
191	  Say Y here to enable ALSA debug code.
192
193config SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE
194	bool "More verbose debug"
195	depends on SND_DEBUG
196	help
197	  Say Y here to enable extra-verbose debugging messages.
198
199	  Let me repeat: it enables EXTRA-VERBOSE DEBUGGING messages.
200	  So, say Y only if you are ready to be annoyed.
201
202config SND_PCM_XRUN_DEBUG
203	bool "Enable PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging"
204	default n
205	depends on SND_DEBUG && SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS
206	help
207	  Say Y to enable the PCM ring buffer overrun/underrun debugging.
208	  It is usually not required, but if you have trouble with
209	  sound clicking when system is loaded, it may help to determine
210	  the process or driver which causes the scheduling gaps.
211
212config SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION
213	bool "Validate input data to control API"
214	help
215	  Say Y to enable the additional validation for the input data to
216	  each control element, including the value range checks.
217	  An error is returned from ALSA core for invalid inputs without
218	  passing to the driver.  This is a kind of hardening for drivers
219	  that have no proper error checks, at the cost of a slight
220	  performance overhead.
221
222config SND_CTL_DEBUG
223	bool "Enable debugging feature for control API"
224	depends on SND_DEBUG
225	help
226	  Say Y to enable the debugging feature for ALSA control API.
227	  It performs the additional sanity-checks for each control element
228	  read access, such as whether the values returned from the driver
229	  are in the proper ranges or the check of the invalid access at
230	  out-of-array areas.  The error is printed when the driver gives
231	  such unexpected values.
232	  When you develop a driver that deals with control elements, it's
233	  strongly recommended to try this one once and verify whether you see
234	  any relevant errors or not.
235
236config SND_JACK_INJECTION_DEBUG
237	bool "Sound jack injection interface via debugfs"
238	depends on SND_JACK && SND_DEBUG && DEBUG_FS
239	help
240	  This option can be used to enable or disable sound jack
241	  software injection.
242	  Say Y if you are debugging via jack injection interface.
243	  If unsure select "N".
244
245config SND_UTIMER
246	bool "Enable support for userspace-controlled virtual timers"
247	depends on SND_TIMER
248	help
249	  Say Y to enable the support of userspace-controlled timers. These
250	  timers are purely virtual, and they are supposed to be triggered
251	  from userspace. They could be quite useful when synchronizing the
252	  sound timing with userspace applications (for instance, when sending
253	  data through snd-aloop).
254
