+Driver Migration</title><shortdesc>Explains how to convert an <codeph>RMdaDevSound</codeph> -based
+sound driver to the current Sound Driver architecture. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>Symbian converted the PDD of the <codeph>RMdaDevSound</codeph> based driver
+to an <xref href="GUID-B0118EDD-2B08-353E-BE92-2DC75E5622B3.dita"><apiname>RSoundSc</apiname></xref> version of the PDD. The same procedure was
+used for this on all three platforms. </p>
+<p>PDDs for the <codeph>RMdaDevSound</codeph> based driver have a significant
+amount of code that is dedicated to creating and managing a circular buffer, <codeph>DSoundBuffer</codeph>,
+for storing playback or record audio. In the <xref href="GUID-B0118EDD-2B08-353E-BE92-2DC75E5622B3.dita"><apiname>RSoundSc</apiname></xref> version
+of the driver, this is taken care of by the shared chunk and this code can
+be discarded. </p>
+<p>For the remaining PDD code, although the LDD to PDD interface for the <codeph>RMdaDevSound</codeph> based
+version is similar to the <xref href="GUID-B0118EDD-2B08-353E-BE92-2DC75E5622B3.dita"><apiname>RSoundSc</apiname></xref> version, it is best
+to start by taking a copy of the template port as described in <xref href="GUID-C6ABE2CA-901E-55F1-9837-7018A1612BCF.dita">Set
+Up</xref> , then fill in the sections marked TODO in the template code by
+cutting and pasting the relevant code coming from a single function, this
+is often called the same in each version of the driver. </p>
+<p>One complication comes if the <xref href="GUID-B0118EDD-2B08-353E-BE92-2DC75E5622B3.dita"><apiname>RSoundSc</apiname></xref> version is to
+support both record and playback driver channels, as this requires some of
+the functionality to be moved to the shared PDD factory object. </p>
