Re: [alsa-devel] [RFC] Channel mapping API (take 2)

Hi,

One additional wish for the channel map API: functions for converting between snd_pcm_chmaps and (machine-readable) strings. If channel map information is added to UCM, the UCM code will have to parse the channel map specifications, or if they are exposed as unfiltered strings to applications, then applications will have to do the parsing. In either case, having readily available functions to do the parsing would be useful. Applications may also want to convert the chmap into a string for logging purposes, for example.
