Hi,
for the compressed path work I had a question regarding the minor numbers.
Looks like we have 32 minors (5 bits) and going by current table there is no space for new devices. So should i increase the number to 64 (6bits), add compressed playback and capture devices as 32-39, 40-48 respectively and keep rest as reserved, or would you like it to be kept 32 and realign the table?
For the large number of concurrent accesses, we usually take an approach with sub-streams instead of scattering too many device files.
