Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:05:33 -0400 From: Chris Nelson Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick) In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2 controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux. It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in. My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick, actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in code for quirky joysticks such as these. I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module, otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another issue entirely). Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR structure is used to describe the format of some audio data\&. This structure is used by \fI\fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP\fR and \fI\fBSDL_LoadWAV\fP\fR\&. While all fields are used by \fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP only \fBfreq\fR, \fBformat\fR, \fBsamples\fR and \fBchannels\fR are used by \fBSDL_LoadWAV\fP\&. We will detail these common members here\&.
.TP 20
\fBfreq\fR
The number of samples sent to the sound device every second\&. Common values are 11025, 22050 and 44100\&. The higher the better\&.
.TP 20
\fBformat\fR
Specifies the size and type of each sample element 
.IP "\fBAUDIO_U8\fP" 10Unsigned 8-bit samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_S8\fP" 10Signed 8-bit samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_U16\fP or \fBAUDIO_U16LSB\fP" 10Unsigned 16-bit little-endian samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_S16\fP or \fBAUDIO_S16LSB\fP" 10Signed 16-bit little-endian samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_U16MSB\fP" 10Unsigned 16-bit big-endian samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_S16MSB\fP" 10Signed 16-bit big-endian samples
.IP "\fBAUDIO_U16SYS\fP" 10Either \fBAUDIO_U16LSB\fP or \fBAUDIO_U16MSB\fP depending on you systems endianness
.IP "\fBAUDIO_S16SYS\fP" 10Either \fBAUDIO_S16LSB\fP or \fBAUDIO_S16MSB\fP depending on you systems endianness
.TP 20
\fBchannels\fR
The number of seperate sound channels\&. 1 is mono (single channel), 2 is stereo (dual channel)\&.
.TP 20
\fBsamples\fR
When used with \fI\fBSDL_OpenAudio\fP\fR this refers to the size of the audio buffer in samples\&. A sample a chunk of audio data of the size specified in \fBformat\fR mulitplied by the number of channels\&. When the \fBSDL_AudioSpec\fR is used with \fI\fBSDL_LoadWAV\fP\fR \fBsamples\fR is set to 4096\&.
