output/oss: enable DoP
Explanation This adds support for DOP using the PcmExport function if the macro ENABLE_DSD is defined. If enabled within the config-file using "dop", the boolean dop_setting will be true. If DSD input is encountered and the setting is on, it is checked whether the oss-device supports the required samplerate. If that is the case, dop_active is set to true and conversion of the input is prevented. If the sample rate is not supported, conversion to S32 is requested. When playing back, the PcmExport is used to pack the incoming stream into PCM. Reasoning This is required for OSs without the required driver support for native DSD playback that also have no ALSA. Mainly *BSD users are the target audience for this functionality, as ALSA here is only a proxy without full functionality. Requirements DAC that supports the DOP standard Building with OSS, DSD and S32-Format Supported Formats / Required PCM Formats DSF, DFF and WavPack-DSD will work. DSD64, 1 Channel -> S24:176.4kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples) DSD64, 2 Channel -> S24:352.8kHz DSD64, 4 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz (untested, lmissing equipment) DSD128, 1 Channel -> S24:352.8kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples) DSD128, 2 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz DSD256, 1 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples) Changes inclusion of required files adding new domain for logging adding dop_satisfied private function adding required member variables for storing dop state and for dop-packing adding dop boolean parameter to many functions that are required to act a little differently when dop is active Testing This has been tested to work with a Sabaj Da2 on FreeBSD, where the red status indicator LED clearly shows that DSD playback is taking place, instead of purple for "hi-res" which is seen when converting. Issues I have not tested this with S24 and right now AFMT_S32_NE is required. If not defined, ENABLE_DSD will be undef'ed. This will be addressed in a bit, however no DAC which supports DOP but not 32Bit is known to me. Also, AFMT_S32_NE is not defined when building on FreeBSD which is why this is just blatantly defined in the file at the moment. Additionally, the new dop-option is not added into any documentation whatsoever.
