SWCODEC

Usage Start pointer Size
font buffer mbuf MAX_FONT_SIZE
dircache audiobuf (initially) varies
DataBase   varies
DataBase search instructions   varies
playlist storage   configurable
tree storage   configurable
LastFMLog cache scrobbler_cache SCROBBLER_MAX_CACHE * SCROBBLER_CACHE_LEN (optional)
Cuesheet buffer   2 * sizeof(struct cuesheet) (optional)
voice thumbnail buffer (.talk clips)   MAX_THUMBNAIL_BUFSIZE
voice file audiobuf (after initialisation complete) talk_get_bufsize()
codec malloc buffer &audiobuf[talk_get_bufsize()] MALLOC_BUFSIZE
compressed codec data (+ guard buffer) filebuf = &audiobuf[talk_get_bufsize()+MALLOC_BUFSIZE] as big as possible
audio codec IRAM filebuf + filebuflen CODEC_IRAM_SIZE
voice codec IRAM   CODEC_IRAM_SIZE (if talk_voice_required())
audio codec DRAM   CODEC_SIZE
voice codec DRAM   CODEC_SIZE (if talk_voice_required())
PCM buffers/descriptors audiobufend - (pcmbuf_size + pcmbufdesc_size + PCMBUF_MIX_CHUNK*2) pcmbuf_size + pcmbufdesc_size
PCM crossfade buffer audiobufend - PCMBUF_MIX_CHUNK*2 PCMBUF_MIX_CHUNK
PCM voice mix buffer audiobufend - PCMBUF_MIX_CHUNK PCMBUF_MIX_CHUNK
(end) audiobufend  

Notes:
  • The allocations for dircache through to codec malloc buffer are all allocated during initialisation using buffer_alloc, hence changing the value of audiobuf.
  • In pcmbuf_init, the comment shows layout ...CODECBUFFER|---------PCMBUF---------|GUARDBUF|DESCS| - is this a seperate guard buffer, or a mistake?
