5 Steinberg Audio Stream I/O API
6 (c) 1997 - 2013, Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH
8 ASIO Interface Specification v 2.3
10 2005 - Added support for DSD sample data (in cooperation with Sony)
11 2012 - Added support for drop out detection
14 basic concept is an i/o synchronous double-buffer scheme:
16 on bufferSwitch(index == 0), host will read/write:
18 after ASIOStart(), the
19 read first input buffer A (index 0)
20 | will be invalid (empty)
21 * ------------------------
22 |------------------------|-----------------------|
24 | Input Buffer A (0) | Input Buffer B (1) |
26 |------------------------|-----------------------|
28 | Output Buffer A (0) | Output Buffer B (1) |
30 |------------------------|-----------------------|
31 * -------------------------
32 | before calling ASIOStart(),
33 write host will have filled output
34 buffer B (index 1) already
36 *please* take special care of proper statement of input
37 and output latencies (see ASIOGetLatencies()), these
38 control sequencer sync accuracy

165 // DSD operation and buffer layout
166 // Definition by Steinberg/Sony Oxford.
168 // We have tried to treat DSD as PCM and so keep a consistant structure across
169 // the ASIO interface.
171 // DSD's sample rate is normally referenced as a multiple of 44.1Khz, so
172 // the standard sample rate is refered to as 64Fs (or 2.8224Mhz). We looked
173 // at making a special case for DSD and adding a field to the ASIOFuture that
174 // would allow the user to select the Over Sampleing Rate (OSR) as a seperate
175 // entity but decided in the end just to treat it as a simple value of
176 // 2.8224Mhz and use the standard interface to set it.
178 // The second problem was the "word" size, in PCM the word size is always a
179 // greater than or equal to 8 bits (a byte). This makes life easy as we can
180 // then pack the samples into the "natural" size for the machine.
181 // In DSD the "word" size is 1 bit. This is not a major problem and can easily
182 // be dealt with if we ensure that we always deal with a multiple of 8 samples.
184 // DSD brings with it another twist to the Endianness religion. How are the
185 // samples packed into the byte. It would be nice to just say the most significant
186 // bit is always the first sample, however there would then be a performance hit
187 // on little endian machines. Looking at how some of the processing goes...
188 // Little endian machines like the first sample to be in the Least Significant Bit,
189 // this is because when you write it to memory the data is in the correct format
190 // to be shifted in and out of the words.
191 // Big endian machine prefer the first sample to be in the Most Significant Bit,
192 // again for the same reasion.
194 // And just when things were looking really muddy there is a proposed extension to
195 // DSD that uses 8 bit word sizes. It does not care what endianness you use.
197 // Switching the driver between DSD and PCM mode
198 // ASIOFuture allows for extending the ASIO API quite transparently.

281 it is recommended to use the new method with time info even if the asio
282 device does not support timecode; continuous calls to ASIOGetSamplePosition
283 and ASIOGetSampleRate are avoided, and there is a more defined relationship
284 between callback time and the time info.
286 see the example below.
287 to initiate time info mode, after you have received the callbacks pointer in
288 ASIOCreateBuffers, you will call the asioMessage callback with kAsioSupportsTimeInfo
289 as the argument. if this returns 1, host has accepted time info mode.
290 now host expects the new callback bufferSwitchTimeInfo to be used instead
291 of the old bufferSwitch method. the ASIOTime structure is assumed to be valid
292 and accessible until the callback returns.
295 if the device supports reading time code, it will call host's asioMessage callback
296 with kAsioSupportsTimeCode as the selector. it may then fill the according
297 fields and set the kTcValid flag.
298 host will call the future method with the kAsioEnableTimeCodeRead selector when
299 it wants to enable or disable tc reading by the device. you should also support
300 the kAsioCanTimeInfo and kAsioCanTimeCode selectors in ASIOFuture (see example).
303 the AsioTimeInfo/ASIOTimeCode pair is supposed to work in both directions.
304 as a matter of convention, the relationship between the sample
305 position counter and the time code at buffer switch time is
306 (ignoring offset between tc and sample pos when tc is running):
308 on input: sample 0 -> input buffer sample 0 -> time code 0
309 on output: sample 0 -> output buffer sample 0 -> time code 0
311 this means that for 'real' calculations, one has to take into account
312 the according latencies.

ASIOGetChannels(long *numInputChannels
, long *numOutputChannels
);
571 Returns number of individual input/output channels.
573 numInputChannels will hold the number of available input channels
574 numOutputChannels will hold the number of available output channels
576 If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
577 If only inputs, or only outputs are available, the according
578 other parameter will be zero, and ASE_OK is returned.
581 ASIOError
ASIOGetLatencies(long *inputLatency
, long *outputLatency
);
583 Returns the input and output latencies. This includes
584 device specific delays, like FIFOs etc.
586 inputLatency will hold the 'age' of the first sample frame
587 in the input buffer when the hosts reads it in bufferSwitch()
588 (this is theoretical, meaning it does not include the overhead
589 and delay between the actual physical switch, and the time
590 when bufferSitch() enters).
591 This will usually be the size of one block in sample frames, plus
592 device specific latencies.
594 outputLatency will specify the time between the buffer switch,
595 and the time when the next play buffer will start to sound.
596 The next play buffer is defined as the one the host starts
597 processing after (or at) bufferSwitch(), indicated by the
598 index parameter (0 for buffer A, 1 for buffer B).
599 It will usually be either one block, if the host writes directly
600 to a dma buffer, or two or more blocks if the buffer is 'latched' by
601 the driver. As an example, on ASIOStart(), the host will have filled
602 the play buffer at index 1 already; when it gets the callback (with
603 the parameter index == 0), this tells it to read from the input
604 buffer 0, and start to fill the play buffer 0 (assuming that now
605 play buffer 1 is already sounding). In this case, the output
606 latency is one block. If the driver decides to copy buffer 1
607 at that time, and pass it to the hardware at the next slot (which
608 is most commonly done, but should be avoided), the output latency
609 becomes two blocks instead, resulting in a total i/o latency of at least
610 3 blocks. As memory access is the main bottleneck in native dsp processing,
611 and to acheive less latency, it is highly recommended to try to avoid
612 copying (this is also why the driver is the owner of the buffers). To
613 summarize, the minimum i/o latency can be acheived if the input buffer
614 is processed by the host into the output buffer which will physically
615 start to sound on the next time slice. Also note that the host expects
616 the bufferSwitch() callback to be accessed for each time slice in order
617 to retain sync, possibly recursively; if it fails to process a block in
618 time, it will suspend its operation for some time in order to recover.
620 If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
623 ASIOError
ASIOGetBufferSize(long *minSize
, long *maxSize
, long *preferredSize
, long *granularity
);
625 Returns min, max, and preferred buffer sizes for input/output
627 minSize will hold the minimum buffer size
628 maxSize will hold the maxium possible buffer size
629 preferredSize will hold the preferred buffer size (a size which
630 best fits performance and hardware requirements)
631 granularity will hold the granularity at which buffer sizes
632 may differ. Usually, the buffer size will be a power of 2;
633 in this case, granularity will hold -1 on return, signalling
634 possible buffer sizes starting from minSize, increased in
635 powers of 2 up to maxSize.
637 If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
639 When minimum and maximum buffer size are equal,
640 the preferred buffer size has to be the same value as well; granularity
641 should be 0 in this case.

648 sampleRate is the rate in question.

699 instance analog, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, ADAT connectors etc,
700 when present simultaniously. Note that associated channel
701 is enumerated according to numInputs/numOutputs, means it
702 is independant from a group (see also ASIOGetChannelInfo())
703 inputs are associated to a clock if the physical connection
704 transfers both data and clock (like S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or
705 ADAT inputs). if there is no input channel associated with

752 in order to be able to synchronise properly,
753 the sample position / time stamp pair must refer to the current block,
754 that is, the engine will call ASIOGetSamplePosition() in its bufferSwitch()
755 callback and expect the time for the current block. thus, when requested
756 in the very first bufferSwitch after ASIO_Start(), the sample position
757 should be zero, and the time stamp should refer to the very time where
758 the stream was started. it also means that the sample position must be
759 block aligned. the driver must ensure proper interpolation if the system
760 time can not be determined for the block position. the driver is responsible
761 for precise time stamps as it usually has most direct access to lower
762 level resources. proper behaviour of ASIO_GetSamplePosition() and ASIO_GetLatencies()
763 are essential for precise media synchronization!

790 of the group it may belong to.
791 There will always be at least one group (group 0). Please
792 also note that by default, the host may decide to activate

846 contain invalid settings, ASE_InvalidMode will be returned.
848 If individual channel selection is not possible but requested,
849 the driver has to handle this. namely, bufferSwitch() will only
850 have filled buffers of enabled outputs. If possible, processing
851 and buss activities overhead should be avoided for channels which
852 were not enabled here.

ASIOOutputReady(void);
1022 this tells the driver that the host has completed processing
1023 the output buffers. if the data format required by the hardware
1024 differs from the supported asio formats, but the hardware
1025 buffers are DMA buffers, the driver will have to convert
1026 the audio stream data; as the bufferSwitch callback is
1027 usually issued at dma block switch time, the driver will
1028 have to convert the *previous* host buffer, which increases
1029 the output latency by one block.
1030 when the host finds out that ASIOOutputReady() returns
1031 true, it will issue this call whenever it completed
1032 output processing. then the driver can convert the
1033 host data directly to the dma buffer to be played next,
1034 reducing output latency by one block.
1035 another way to look at it is, that the buffer switch is called
1036 in order to pass the *input* stream to the host, so that it can
1037 process the input into the output, and the output stream is passed
1038 to the driver when the host has completed its process.
1042 only if the above mentioned scenario is given, and a reduction
1043 of output latency can be acheived by this mechanism, should
1044 ASE_OK be returned. otherwise (and usually), ASE_NotPresent
1045 should be returned in order to prevent further calls to this
1046 function. note that the host may want to determine if it is
1047 to use this when the system is not yet fully initialized, so
1048 ASE_OK should always be returned if the mechanism makes sense.
1050 please remeber to adjust ASIOGetLatencies() according to
1051 whether ASIOOutputReady() was ever called or not, if your
1052 driver supports this scenario.
1053 also note that the engine may fail to call ASIO_OutputReady()
1054 in time in overload cases. as already mentioned, bufferSwitch
1055 should be called for every block regardless of whether a block
1056 could be processed in time.
