We have a lot of different virtual media drivers, which can be used for testing of the userspace applications and media subsystem middle layer. However, all of them are aimed at testing the video functionality and simulating the video devices. For audio devices we have only snd-dummy module, which is good in simulating the correct behavior of an ALSA device. I decided to write a tool, which would help to test the userspace ALSA programs (and the PCM middle layer as well) under unusual circumstances to figure out how they would behave. So I came up with this Virtual ALSA Driver. This new Virtual ALSA Driver has several features which can be useful during the userspace ALSA applications testing/fuzzing, or testing/fuzzing of the PCM middle layer. Not all of them can be implemented using the existing virtual drivers (like dummy or loopback). Here is what can this driver do: - Simulate both capture and playback processes - Generate random or pattern-based capture data - Inject delays into the playback and capturing processes - Inject errors during the PCM callbacks Also, this driver can check the playback stream for containing the predefined pattern, which is used in the corresponding selftest to check the PCM middle layer data transferring functionality. Additionally, this driver redefines the default RESET ioctl, and the selftest covers this PCM API functionality as well. Pattern-based capture stream data generation works in the following way: user can set the pattern by writing to the 'fill_pattern' debugfs file. After that, the capture stream in case of reading will be filled with this pattern (for example, if the pattern is 'abc', the capture stream will contain 'abcabcabc...'). The pattern itself can be up to 4096 bytes long. After all, I think this driver would be a good start, and I believe in the future we will see more virtual sound drivers.
