        Steinberg Audio Stream I/O API
        (c) 1997 - 2013, Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH
 
        ASIO Interface Specification v 2.3
 
        2005 - Added support for DSD sample data (in cooperation with Sony)
        2012 - Added support for drop out detection
 
 
        basic concept is an i/o synchronous double-buffer scheme:
        
        on bufferSwitch(index == 0), host will read/write:
 
                after ASIOStart(), the
  read  first input buffer A (index 0)
        |   will be invalid (empty)
        *   ------------------------
        |------------------------|-----------------------|
        |                        |                       |
        |  Input Buffer A (0)    |   Input Buffer B (1)  |
        |                        |                       |
        |------------------------|-----------------------|
        |                        |                       |
        |  Output Buffer A (0)   |   Output Buffer B (1) |
        |                        |                       |
        |------------------------|-----------------------|
        *                        -------------------------
        |                        before calling ASIOStart(),
  write                      host will have filled output
                             buffer B (index 1) already
 
  *please* take special care of proper statement of input
  and output latencies (see ASIOGetLatencies()), these
  control sequencer sync accuracy

// DSD operation and buffer layout
// Definition by Steinberg/Sony Oxford.
//
// We have tried to treat DSD as PCM and so keep a consistant structure across
// the ASIO interface.
//
// DSD's sample rate is normally referenced as a multiple of 44.1Khz, so
// the standard sample rate is refered to as 64Fs (or 2.8224Mhz). We looked
// at making a special case for DSD and adding a field to the ASIOFuture that
// would allow the user to select the Over Sampleing Rate (OSR) as a seperate
// entity but decided in the end just to treat it as a simple value of
// 2.8224Mhz and use the standard interface to set it.
//
// The second problem was the "word" size, in PCM the word size is always a
// greater than or equal to 8 bits (a byte). This makes life easy as we can
// then pack the samples into the "natural" size for the machine.
// In DSD the "word" size is 1 bit. This is not a major problem and can easily
// be dealt with if we ensure that we always deal with a multiple of 8 samples.
//
// DSD brings with it another twist to the Endianness religion. How are the
// samples packed into the byte. It would be nice to just say the most significant
// bit is always the first sample, however there would then be a performance hit
// on little endian machines. Looking at how some of the processing goes...
// Little endian machines like the first sample to be in the Least Significant Bit,
//   this is because when you write it to memory the data is in the correct format
//   to be shifted in and out of the words.
// Big endian machine prefer the first sample to be in the Most Significant Bit,
//   again for the same reasion.
//
// And just when things were looking really muddy there is a proposed extension to
// DSD that uses 8 bit word sizes. It does not care what endianness you use.
//
// Switching the driver between DSD and PCM mode
// ASIOFuture allows for extending the ASIO API quite transparently.
// See kAsioSetIoFormat, kAsioGetIoFormat, kAsioCanDoIoFormat

using time info:
it is recommended to use the new method with time info even if the asio
device does not support timecode; continuous calls to ASIOGetSamplePosition
and ASIOGetSampleRate are avoided, and there is a more defined relationship
between callback time and the time info.
 
see the example below.
to initiate time info mode, after you have received the callbacks pointer in
ASIOCreateBuffers, you will call the asioMessage callback with kAsioSupportsTimeInfo
as the argument. if this returns 1, host has accepted time info mode.
now host expects the new callback bufferSwitchTimeInfo to be used instead
of the old bufferSwitch method. the ASIOTime structure is assumed to be valid
and accessible until the callback returns.
 
using time code:
if the device supports reading time code, it will call host's asioMessage callback
with kAsioSupportsTimeCode as the selector. it may then fill the according
fields and set the kTcValid flag.
host will call the future method with the kAsioEnableTimeCodeRead selector when
it wants to enable or disable tc reading by the device. you should also support
the kAsioCanTimeInfo and kAsioCanTimeCode selectors in ASIOFuture (see example).
 
note:
the AsioTimeInfo/ASIOTimeCode pair is supposed to work in both directions.
as a matter of convention, the relationship between the sample
position counter and the time code at buffer switch time is
(ignoring offset between tc and sample pos when tc is running):
 
on input:       sample 0 -> input  buffer sample 0 -> time code 0
on output:      sample 0 -> output buffer sample 0 -> time code 0
 
this means that for 'real' calculations, one has to take into account
the according latencies.
 
example:
 
ASIOTime asioTime;
 
in createBuffers()
{
        memset(&asioTime, 0, sizeof(ASIOTime));
        AsioTimeInfo* ti = &asioTime.timeInfo;
        ti->sampleRate = theSampleRate;
        ASIOTimeCode* tc = &asioTime.timeCode;

                        canTimeCode = true;
#endif

ASIOError ASIOGetLatencies(long *inputLatency, long *outputLatency);
/* Purpose:
          Returns the input and output latencies. This includes
          device specific delays, like FIFOs etc.
        Parameter:
          inputLatency will hold the 'age' of the first sample frame
          in the input buffer when the hosts reads it in bufferSwitch()
          (this is theoretical, meaning it does not include the overhead
          and delay between the actual physical switch, and the time
          when bufferSitch() enters).
          This will usually be the size of one block in sample frames, plus
          device specific latencies.
 
          outputLatency will specify the time between the buffer switch,
          and the time when the next play buffer will start to sound.
          The next play buffer is defined as the one the host starts
          processing after (or at) bufferSwitch(), indicated by the
          index parameter (0 for buffer A, 1 for buffer B).
          It will usually be either one block, if the host writes directly
          to a dma buffer, or two or more blocks if the buffer is 'latched' by
          the driver. As an example, on ASIOStart(), the host will have filled
          the play buffer at index 1 already; when it gets the callback (with
          the parameter index == 0), this tells it to read from the input
          buffer 0, and start to fill the play buffer 0 (assuming that now
          play buffer 1 is already sounding). In this case, the output
          latency is one block. If the driver decides to copy buffer 1
          at that time, and pass it to the hardware at the next slot (which
          is most commonly done, but should be avoided), the output latency
          becomes two blocks instead, resulting in a total i/o latency of at least
          3 blocks. As memory access is the main bottleneck in native dsp processing,
          and to acheive less latency, it is highly recommended to try to avoid
          copying (this is also why the driver is the owner of the buffers). To
          summarize, the minimum i/o latency can be acheived if the input buffer
          is processed by the host into the output buffer which will physically
          start to sound on the next time slice. Also note that the host expects
          the bufferSwitch() callback to be accessed for each time slice in order
          to retain sync, possibly recursively; if it fails to process a block in
          time, it will suspend its operation for some time in order to recover.
        Returns:
          If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.

        Parameter:
          minSize will hold the minimum buffer size
          maxSize will hold the maxium possible buffer size
          preferredSize will hold the preferred buffer size (a size which
          best fits performance and hardware requirements)
          granularity will hold the granularity at which buffer sizes
          may differ. Usually, the buffer size will be a power of 2;
          in this case, granularity will hold -1 on return, signalling
          possible buffer sizes starting from minSize, increased in
          powers of 2 up to maxSize.

          If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
        Notes:
          When minimum and maximum buffer size are equal,
          the preferred buffer size has to be the same value as well; granularity

        Notes:
 
          in order to be able to synchronise properly,

          callback and expect the time for the current block. thus, when requested
          in the very first bufferSwitch after ASIO_Start(), the sample position
          should be zero, and the time stamp should refer to the very time where
          the stream was started. it also means that the sample position must be
          block aligned. the driver must ensure proper interpolation if the system
          time can not be determined for the block position. the driver is responsible
          for precise time stamps as it usually has most direct access to lower
          level resources. proper behaviour of ASIO_GetSamplePosition() and ASIO_GetLatencies()
          are essential for precise media synchronization!

                  there should be a reasonable grouping of these types. Groups
                  are always independant form a channel index, that is, a channel
                  index always counts from 0 to numInputs/numOutputs regardless
                  of the group it may belong to.
                  There will always be at least one group (group 0). Please
                  also note that by default, the host may decide to activate
                  channels 0 and 1; thus, these should belong to the most
                  useful type (analog i/o, if present).
                - type: on return, contains the sample type of the channel
                - isActive: on return, ASIOTrue if channel is active as it was
                  installed by ASIOCreateBuffers(), ASIOFalse else
                - name:  describing the type of channel in question. Used to allow
                  for user selection, and enabling of specific channels. examples:
              "Analog In", "SPDIF Out" etc
        Returns:
          If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
        Notes:
          If possible, the string should be organised such that the first
          characters are most significantly describing the nature of the
          port, to allow for identification even if the view showing the
          port name is too small to display more than 8 characters, for
          instance.

/* Purpose:
          Allocates input/output buffers for all input and output channels to be activated.
        Parameter:
          bufferInfos is a pointer to an array of ASIOBufferInfo structures:
            - isInput: on input, ASIOTrue if the buffer is to be allocated
              for an input, output buffer else

              (counting from 0)
            - buffers: on exit, 2 pointers to the halves of the channels' double-buffer.
              the size of the buffer(s) of course depend on both the ASIOSampleType
              as obtained from ASIOGetChannelInfo(), and bufferSize
          numChannels is the sum of all input and output channels to be created;
          thus bufferInfos is a pointer to an array of numChannels ASIOBufferInfo
          structures.
          bufferSize selects one of the possible buffer sizes as obtained from
          ASIOGetBufferSizes().
          callbacks is a pointer to an ASIOCallbacks structure.
        Returns:
          If not enough memory is available ASE_NoMemory will be returned.
          If no input/output is present ASE_NotPresent will be returned.
          If bufferSize is not supported, or one or more of the bufferInfos elements
          contain invalid settings, ASE_InvalidMode will be returned.
        Notes:
          If individual channel selection is not possible but requested,
          the driver has to handle this. namely, bufferSwitch() will only
          have filled buffers of enabled outputs. If possible, processing
          and buss activities overhead should be avoided for channels which
          were not enabled here.

ASIOError ASIOOutputReady(void);
/* Purpose:
          this tells the driver that the host has completed processing
          the output buffers. if the data format required by the hardware
          differs from the supported asio formats, but the hardware
          buffers are DMA buffers, the driver will have to convert
          the audio stream data; as the bufferSwitch callback is
          usually issued at dma block switch time, the driver will
          have to convert the *previous* host buffer, which increases
          the output latency by one block.
          when the host finds out that ASIOOutputReady() returns
          true, it will issue this call whenever it completed
          output processing. then the driver can convert the
          host data directly to the dma buffer to be played next,
          reducing output latency by one block.
          another way to look at it is, that the buffer switch is called
          in order to pass the *input* stream to the host, so that it can
          process the input into the output, and the output stream is passed
          to the driver when the host has completed its process.
        Parameter:
                None
        Returns:
          only if the above mentioned scenario is given, and a reduction
          of output latency can be acheived by this mechanism, should
          ASE_OK be returned. otherwise (and usually), ASE_NotPresent
          should be returned in order to prevent further calls to this
          function. note that the host may want to determine if it is
          to use this when the system is not yet fully initialized, so
          ASE_OK should always be returned if the mechanism makes sense.          
        Notes:
          please remeber to adjust ASIOGetLatencies() according to
          whether ASIOOutputReady() was ever called or not, if your
          driver supports this scenario.
          also note that the engine may fail to call ASIO_OutputReady()
          in time in overload cases. as already mentioned, bufferSwitch
      should be called for every block regardless of whether a block
      could be processed in time.
