In the current code, the mute control is dealt in a special manner, modifying the current volume and saving the old volume, etc. This is inconsistent (e.g. change the volume while muted, then unmute), and way too complex. Also, the whole volume handling code has conversion between ALSA volume and raw volume values, which can lead to another inconsistency and complexity. This patch simplifies these points: - The ALSA volume value is saved in chip->volume - volume->mute saves the mute state - The mute state is evaluated only when the actual volume is passed to the hardware, bcm2835_audio_set_ctls() Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Tested-by: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@i2se.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
