SND_HDSPE(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		  SND_HDSPE(4)

NAME
       snd_hdspe -- RME	HDSPe bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver into the kernel, place	the following lines in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device sound
	     device snd_hdspe

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     snd_hdspe_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The snd_hdspe bridge driver allows the generic audio driver sound(4) to
       attach to RME HDSPe audio devices.

HARDWARE
       The snd_hdspe driver supports the following audio devices:

          RME HDSPe AIO
          RME HDSPe RayDAT

       By  default,  each  pcm(4) device corresponds to	a physical port	on the
       sound card.  For	ADAT ports, 8 channel, 4 channel and 2 channel formats
       are supported.  Depending on sample rate	and channel  format  selected,
       not all pcm channels can	be mapped to ADAT channels and vice versa.

SYSCTL TUNABLES
       These settings and informational	values can be accessed at runtime with
       the  sysctl(8)  command.	  If  multiple	RME  HDSPe sound cards are in-
       stalled,	each device has	a separate configuration.  To adjust the  fol-
       lowing sysctl identifiers for a specific	sound card, insert the respec-
       tive device number in place of `0'.

       dev.hdspe.0.clock_list
	       Lists  possible	clock  sources	to sync	with, depending	on the
	       hardware	model.	This includes  internal	 and  external	master
	       clocks  as  well	 as  incoming  digital audio signals like AES,
	       S/PDIF and ADAT.

       dev.hdspe.0.clock_preference
	       Select a	preferred clock	source from  the  clock	 list.	 HDSPe
	       cards  will  sync to this clock source when available, but fall
	       back to auto-sync with any other	digital	clock signal they  re-
	       ceive.	Set this to `internal' if the HDSPe card should	act as
	       master clock.

       dev.hdspe.0.clock_source
	       Shows the actual	clock source in	use (read only).  This differs
	       from what is set	as clock preference when in auto-sync mode.

       dev.hdspe.0.sync_status
	       Display the current sync	status of all external clock  sources.
	       Status  indications are `none' for no signal at all, `lock' for
	       when a valid signal is present, and `sync' for accurately  syn-
	       chronized signals (required for recording digital audio).

       Where  appropriate  these  sysctl values	are modeled after official RME
       software	on other platforms, and	adopt their terminology.  Consult  the
       RME user	manuals	for additional information.

HISTORY
       The snd_hdspe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.

AUTHORS
       The  snd_hdspe  driver  was  written  by	 Ruslan	Bukin <br@bsdpad.com>.
       Florian Walpen <dev@submerge.ch>	contributed clock source settings  and
       restructured the	pcm device mapping.
