That ... is simply 'class' - the Android kernel includes a new sysfs
class for switches, CCing in Mike Lockwood who wrote it in case he's got
any input from the Android side.

The obvious thing to do here seems to be to update the Android framework
to be able to use the standard kernel interfaces.  I obviously can't
speak for Google but it seems like the sort of patch they'd be willing
to accept, especially if you retain the ability to use the non-standard
extensions that are currently being used.

I guess an alternative would be to have the Android kernels add an
adaptor in the input subsystem (for various reasons not all jack sense
goes through ALSA) so that input subsystem switches get represented via
the Android switch ABI, though that would increase the amount of out of
tree code that needs to be carried and so seems like the wrong direction
to be heading.

Applied, thanks.

I know now get_tstamp() isn't what I'm looking for after reading some
prior postings and other web sites.  Can't seem to find a discussion
of timing in the ALSA docs themselves.  Maybe I'm being dense.

Looks like some processing of the trigger timestamp is what I need but
I'm not following the logic of "triggers" in the simple use of
snd_pcm_readi() that I've got.  Before the first readi() call, the
trigger time is 0.  The second time, it's pretty close to the wall
time for the first call.  Perhaps that's the timestamp of the first
sample of the first period I read and I need to add the period_time
each time?  Seems like that'd accrue error when recording over longer
periods of time (which my application does).

What's the "timestamp mode".  Does it generate a timestamp each
period?  How would I access that timestamp?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Paul
