CRAS = ChromeOS Audio Server

Directories

src/server - the source for the sound server
src/libcras - client library for interacting with cras
src/common - files common to both the server and library
src/tests - tests for cras and libcras
src/fuzz - source code and build scripts for coverage-guided fuzzers for CRAS

Building from source:

# Generate install-sh
./git_prepare.sh

# Configure
CC=clang \
CXX=clang++ \
CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=gnu++11 -Wall" \
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
./configure --disable-alsa-plugin

# Compile
make -j$(nproc)

# Compile with unit tests
make -j$(nproc) check

# Install binaries to /usr/bin
sudo make install

Code complete for for editors

You need to install bear first and generate compile commands for language server plugins in editors by

make clean && make compile_commands.json

Then you'll get compile_commands.json for editor. Import the JSON file to your editor and you'll get useful code complete features for CRAS and its unit tests.

Configuration:

Device Blocklisting:

Blocklist of certain USB output device(s) is possible by modifying the config file /etc/cras/device_blocklist.

The format of this file is as follows:

[USB_Outputs]
  <vendor_id>_<product_id>_<checksum>_<device_index> = 1

Where vendor_id and product id are the USB identifiers for the card to blocklist. The checksum is the output of "cksum" command applied to the sysfs "descriptors" file of the device. The device index specifies the index of the output device in the card to blocklist. This is a bool parameter, so '= 1' enables the option.

Example, blocklisting the non-functional output device reported by the C-Media based CAD-u1 mic:

[USB_Outputs]
  0d8c_0008_00000000_0 = 1

Card Configuration:

There can be a config file for each sound alsa card on the system. This file lives in /etc/cras/. The file should be named with the card name returned by ALSA, the string in the second set of '[]' in the aplay -l output. The ini file has the following format.

[<output-node-name>] ; Name of the mixer control for this output.
  <config-option> = <config-value>

output-node-name can be speficied in a few ways to link with the real node:

UCM device name - The name string following the SectionDevice label in UCM config, i.e. HiFi.conf
Jack name - Name of the mixer control for mixer jack, or the gpio jack name listed by 'evtest' command.
Mixer control name - e.g. "Headphone" or "Speaker", listed by 'amixer scontrols' command.

Note that an output node matches to the output-node-name label in card config by priorty ordered above. For example if a node has UCM device, it will first search the config file for the UCM device name. When not found, jack name will be used for searching, and lastly the mixer output control name.

config-option can be the following:

volume_curve - The type of volume curve, "simple_step" or "explicit".
Options valid and mandatory when volume_curve = simple_step:
- max_volume - The maximum volume for this output specified in dBFS * 100.
- volume_step - Number of dB per volume 'tick' specified in dBFS * 100.
Options valid and mandatory when volume_curve = explicit:
- dB_at_N - The value in dB*100 that should be used for the volume at step "N". There must be one of these for each setting from N=0 to 100 inclusive.

Example: This example configures the Headphones to have a max volume of -3dBFS with a step size of 0.75dBFS and the Speaker to have the curve specified by the steps given, which is a 1dBFS per step curve from max = +0.5dBFS to min = -99.5dBFS (volume step 10 is -89.5dBFS).
