I have found a solution to the problem of getting an infile into saol,
but I an not sure if it is the right one. It works for the example file
in.saol for a stereo infile, and writing to a stereo outfile.
The code in question is in saol_sched.c: start_send_instrs()
the current source does this:
/* figure out the number of channels in the bus (YYY) */
ct = 0;
for (nl = sl->s->busses,ct=0;nl && nl->n; nl=nl->next)
ct += get_bus(sa->all->g->bus,nl->n->name)->width;
id = (instr_decl
*)(get_instr_decl(sa->all->g->sym,sl->s->instr)->defn);
ct = id->inchan;
The problem is that id->inchan is zero, so that though ct has counted to
2, as I want,
the value is obliterated on the following assignment.
Given that the original count is against get_bus()->width,
and that id->width IS set to 2,
a solution with works, so far, is to modify that line to:
ct = MAX(ct,id->width); /* 1 */
If id->inchan is meant to be used,
should it have been set to 2 earlier? /* 2 */
OR:
ct = MIN(ct,id->width); /* 3 */
OR: should the line be simply
ct += id->inchan; /* 4 */
OR
should that line just be omitted? /* 5 */
OR
is the solution soemthing else entirely? /* 6 */
I just haven't learned the functioning of the code well enough to answer
this confidently myself, and it also depends on what is meant to happen,
which I am not sure of either!
I am using the first solution at the moment, but I will abide by a
majority verdict!
