Well, who reads the documentation to get this stuff anyway? As you observe it's far from complete about what's what locked when and how so you need to go to the code to see what's actually going on, especially whenever you need to call back into the ALSA APIs. Though of course I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of uniprocessor assumptions through the body of driver code anyway...

So are you saying that it's possible for one CPU to call my trigger callback to start playback on one substream, while another CPU calls it to start capture on another substream?

If so, then I need to add locking in my trigger function.
