ALSA: core: selection of audio_tstamp type and accuracy reports
Audio timestamps can be extracted from sample counters, wall clocks, PHC clocks (Ethernet AVB), on-demand synchronized snapshots. This patch provides the ability to report timestamping capabilities, select timestamp types and retrieve timestamp accuracy, if supported. Details can be found in Documentations/sound/alsa/timestamping.txt This functionality is introduced by reclaiming the reserved_aligned field introduced by commit9c7066aef4a5eb8e4063de28f06c508bf6f2963a in snd_pcm_status to provide userspace with selection/query capabilities. Additional driver_tstamp and audio_tstamp_accuracy fields are also added. snd_pcm_mmap_status remains a read-only structure with only the audio timestamp value accessible from user space. The selection of audio timestamp type is done through snd_pcm_status only This commit does not impact ABI and does not impact the default behavior. By default audio timestamp is aligned with hw_pointer and reports the DMA position. Backwards compatibility is handled by using the HDAudio wall clock for playback and the hw_ptr for all other cases. For timestamp selection a new STATUS_EXT ioctl is introduced with read/write parameters. Alsa-lib will be modified to make use of STATUS_EXT.
