2-post thread, 1 PNG, 7 likes, 1015 views. Got ALSA functioning without
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_REFINE, only with SNDRV_PCM_IOHW_PARAMS. Custom
struct layouts aliased to ALSA's (snd_interval.interger -> .flag=4);
setting the core values is enough for the driver. Doesn't need to
set {.flags, .rmask, .info} but must set '.max=~0' for intervals not
hardcoded. Only double-buffered 48000Hz stereo, varies frames/period
sizing. Same pattern as the bind-everything-once aliasing: write
custom struct, alias to what the API expects, set only the core
fields you control. 'Minimal ABI surface' approach.
6-post thread. Root: commits fully to {if,goto} control flow via
better macros (J_(label) -> goto label; JNzI1_(label,v) ->
if(v!=0) goto label;). Customizes nanorc syntax-highlight to color
them. Tangent: someone suggesting Perl DSL, not invited to the
'better software' conference.
