The answer has already been provided. I agree with Mark there's no reason why this API would need to provide resource management capabilities, it'd need to be handled with a separate interface addressing PCM and effects as well. In the mean time user-space can put product-specific restrictions on concurrent decoding.
Or implement graceful fallback to the CPU if it can't set up an offloaded stream.
Yes, that is the plan.
