Hi,
I am ramping up on ALSA architecture and framework. I have a couple of basic questions. I apologize if these questions are very basic to be raised in this mailing list. If anyone can help me find answers, it would be great. Thanks in advance.
1. My assumption is that ALSA handles only PCM streams today. Does it handle encoded streams from application to sound card (Which can do hardware decoding)?
2. What are the hwdep files in ALSA used for? Where do the concerned IOCTLS land to?
Thanks and Regards, Harsha.
