snd_hdsp(4): RME HDSP 9632 and HDSP 9652 sound card driver.
Add a sound(4) bridge device driver for the RME HDSP 9632 and HDSP 9652 sound cards. These cards require a nowadays rare PCI 32bit (not PCIe) slot, but still see use due to their value and wealth of features. The HDSP 9632 is mostly comparable to the newer HDSPe AIO, while the HDSP 9652 is similar to the HDSPe RayDAT. These HDSPe PCIe cards are supported by the snd_hdspe(4) driver which was taken as a starting point for development of snd_hdsp(4). Implementation is kept separately due to substantial differences in hardware configuration and to allow easy removal in case PCI 32bit support would be phased out in the future. The snd_hdsp(4) kernel module is not enabled by default, and can be loaded at runtime with kldload(8) or during boot via loader.conf(5). Basic operation was tested with both cards, not including all optional cable connectors and expansion boards. Features should be roughly on par with the snd_hdspe(4) supported cards.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm snd_hdsp
+.Nd "RME HDSP bridge device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device sound"
+.Cd "device snd_hdsp"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
+following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+snd_hdsp_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+bridge driver allows the generic audio driver
+.Xr sound 4
+to attach to RME HDSP audio devices.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following audio devices:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+RME HDSP 9632
+.It
+RME HDSP 9652
+.El
+.Pp
+By default, each
+.Xr pcm 4
+device corresponds to a physical port on the sound card.
+For ADAT ports, 8 channel, 4 channel and 2 channel formats are supported.
+The effective number of ADAT channels is 8 channels at single speed
+(32kHz-48kHz) and 4 channels at double speed (64kHz-96kHz).
+Only the HDSP 9632 can operate at quad speed (128kHz-192kHz), ADAT is
+disabled in this mode.
+Depending on sample rate and channel format selected, not all pcm channels can
+be mapped to ADAT channels and vice versa.
+.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
+These settings can be entered at the
+.Xr loader 8
+prompt or in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 .
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va hw.hdsp.unified_pcm
+If set to 1, all physical ports are combined into one unified pcm device.
+When opened in multi-channel audio software, this makes all ports available
+at the same time, and fully synchronized.
+For resulting channel numbers consult the following table:
+.El
+.Bl -column "Sound Card" "Single Speed" "Double Speed" "Quad Speed"
+.Sy "Sound Card" Ta Sy "Single Speed" Ta Sy "Double Speed" Ta Sy "Quad Speed"
+.It "" Ta "Play | Rec" Ta "Play | Rec" Ta "Play | Rec"
+.It HDSP 9632 Ta " 12 | 12" Ta " 8 | 8" Ta " 4 | 4"
+.It HDSP 9652 Ta " 26 | 26" Ta " 14 | 14" Ta " - | -"
+.El
+.Sh SYSCTL TUNABLES
+These settings and informational values can be accessed at runtime with the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+command.
+If multiple RME HDSP sound cards are installed, each device has a separate
+configuration.
+To adjust the following sysctl identifiers for a specific sound card, insert
+the respective device number in place of
+.Ql 0 .
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.sample_rate
+Set a fixed sample rate from 32000, 44100, 48000, up to 192000.
+This is usually required for digital connections (AES, S/PDIF, ADAT).
+The default value of 0 adjusts the sample rate according to pcm device settings.
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.period
+The number of samples processed per interrupt, from 32, 64, 128, up to 4096.
+Setting a lower value here results in less latency, but increases system load
+due to frequent interrupt processing.
+Extreme values may cause audio gaps and glitches.
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.clock_list
+Lists possible clock sources to sync with, depending on the hardware model.
+This includes internal and external master clocks as well as incoming digital
+audio signals like AES, S/PDIF and ADAT.
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.clock_preference
+Select a preferred clock source from the clock list.
+HDSP cards will sync to this clock source when available, but fall back to
+auto-sync with any other digital clock signal they receive.
+Set this to
+.Ql internal
+if the HDSP card should act as master clock.
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.clock_source
+Shows the actual clock source in use (read only).
+This differs from what is set as clock preference when in auto-sync mode.
+.It Va dev.hdsp.0.sync_status
+Display the current sync status of all external clock sources.
+Status indications are
+.Ql none
+for no signal at all,
+.Ql lock
+for when a valid signal is present, and
+.Ql sync
+for accurately synchronized signals (required for recording digital
+audio).
+.El
+.Pp
+Where appropriate these sysctl values are modeled after official RME software on
+other platforms, and adopt their terminology.
+Consult the RME user manuals for additional information.
