VAR TASCAM_CAPTURE_OPS(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

tascam_capture_ops — the ALSA PCM operations for capture, bestie 💖 (yes, the capture side, we're recording, not playing, keep up 🎀)

Okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual — it's a var(9) page, which is a whole genre of kernel-doc magic, and it's all about how the kernel does its capture-stream thing. Let's get into it ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

extern const struct snd_pcm_ops tascam_capture_ops;

That's it. That's the whole declaration. It's extern, it's const, it's a struct snd_pcm_ops — no cap, it's literally right there 💅

---

💜 Description 💜

So the way that this works: this structure defines the callback functions for capture stream operations. Like, that's its entire job. It's a struct full of callbacks, and those callbacks are what handle the capture stream's operations 🫶

It's giving "little table of function pointers but make it audio" and honestly? Iconic. Periodt.

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

Go give these a look, they're all family 🌈:

• The kernel file ./sound/usb/usx2y/us144mkii_pcm.h — literally in the source tree, go read it 👑
• var tascam_pcm_hw(9)
• var tascam_playback_ops(9) — the playback sibling, we stan both 💕
• playback_urb_complete(9)
• feedback_urb_complete(9)
• capture_urb_complete(9)
• tascam_stop_pcm_work_handler(9)
• tascam_init_pcm(9)
• us144mkii_configure_device_for_rate(9)
• process_playback_routing_us144mkii(9)
• process_capture_routing_us144mkii(9)
• tascam_pcm_hw_params(9)
• tascam_pcm_hw_free(9)
• tascam_pcm_trigger(9)
• tascam_capture_work_handler(9)

💀 Lowkey a lot of cross-references but that's just how kernel docs are, bestie — everything links to everything else, it's giving group chat where everyone knows everyone 🙈

Okay and that's the whole page!! Short and sweet, main character energy from start to finish 🧚‍♀️

This cutie came straight out of ./sound/usb/usx2y, and it's dated October 2026 — so like, mark your calendars or whatever 🍓💖 Slay, bye!! ✨🎀
