AudioScope...
Boy oh boy, with only a MONO mic input to use AudioScope gets much more difficult when the ALTDC board is included.

It needs, so far, two hits at the MIC input with a single hit at the HEADPHONE audio output.

The first at the highest practical resolution for the AC component and the second for the DC component, IF any.

This means I have to record the AC component first, using the Y amp, then send a trigger pulse to a monostable to hold a relay to switch the input to the DC board AND the output of the DC board to the input of the Y amp.

Simple enough but what started out as a basic project as a learning tool for both myself and kids has turned into something that shell scripting and a(n) MBP 13" laptop using AF I/O was not designed for.

The builtin counter measures much better, on average, than my quoted 0.1% accuracy against my pro-gear here so, although it will be long-winded to use this will be used in the setting up and calibrating the 'ALTDC' board.

I will upload a block diagram of what I am aiming for in the not too distant future...

Without you big guns chipping in with your help this project would have never gotten off of the ground...

Thanks guys...

UAUDIO(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 UAUDIO(4)

NAME

     uaudio -- USB audio device driver

SYNOPSIS

     uaudio* at uhub?
     audio*  at audiobus?

DESCRIPTION

     The uaudio driver provides support for USB audio class devices.

     A USB audio device consists of a number of components: input terminals (e.g. USB digital input), output terminals (e.g.  speakers), and a
     number of units in between (e.g. volume control).	The following types of units are handled by the uaudio driver and are accessible via the
     mixer (see audio(4)) interface:
	mixer	      A mixer has a number of inputs and one output.  Each input has a control that determines its volume in the output.  The name
		      of the control is mixN-S, where N is a number that identifies which mixer it is and S which input.
	selector      A selector unit selects one of multiple audio sources such as mic-in and line-in.  The name of the control is
		      selN-S1S2S3..., where N is a number that identifies which selector unit it is and the sequence of Sn indicates candidate
		      units for the audio source.
	feature       A feature unit changes the sound in some way, like bass, treble, mute, or volume.  The name of the control is determined in
		      a heuristic way.	If the unit changes the sound to a speaker output terminal, the names of the controls may be out-
		      puts.speaker.bass, outputs.speaker.treble, outputs.speaker.mute, outputs.speaker, or likewise.
	processing    A processing unit does one of a number of audio processing functions (e.g., channel up-down mixing, Dolby ProLogic, or cho-
		      rus effects).  The name of the on-off control is proN.M-enable, where N is a number that identifies which processing unit it
		      is and M which kind.  Depending on the type of processing unit there may be other controls as well.
	extension     An extension unit performs some unspecified audio processing The name of the on-off control is extN-enable, where N is a
		      number that identifies which processing unit it is.

     For more information the USB Audio class specification is indispensable reading.

HISTORY

     The uaudio driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

BUGS

     There is no support for multiple-endpoints audio stream, adaptive recording, async playback, and TYPE-II/III formats.

     There is the possibility that a device has multiple mixer items which have the same name.
