[PATCH 3/3] selftests: ALSA: Add test for the 'valsa' driver

[Ivan Orlov]

This test covers the new Virtual ALSA driver, including the capturing,
playback and ioctl redefinition functionalities. This test is also helpful
as an usage example of the 'valsa' driver.

We have a lot of different virtual media drivers, which can be used for
testing of the userspace applications and media subsystem middle layer.
However, all of them are aimed at testing the video functionality and
simulating the video devices. For audio devices we have only snd-dummy
module, which is good in simulating the correct behavior of an ALSA device.
I decided to write a tool, which would help to test the userspace ALSA
programs (and the PCM middle layer as well) under unusual circumstances
to figure out how they would behave. So I came up with this Virtual ALSA
Driver.

This new Virtual ALSA Driver has several features which can be useful
during the userspace ALSA applications testing/fuzzing, or testing/fuzzing
of the PCM middle layer. Not all of them can be implemented using the
existing virtual drivers (like dummy or loopback). Here is what can this
driver do:

- Simulate both capture and playback processes
- Generate random or pattern-based capture data
- Check the playback stream for containing the looped pattern
- Inject delays into the playback and capturing processes
- Inject errors during the PCM callbacks

Also, this driver can check the playback stream for containing the
predefined pattern, which is used in the corresponding selftest to check
the PCM middle layer data transferring functionality. Additionally, this
driver redefines the default RESET ioctl, and the selftest covers this PCM
API functionality as well.

After all, I think this driver would be a good start, and I believe in the
future we will see more virtual sound drivers.
