Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 5/6] control: add a function to add an element of bytes type

Takashi Sakamoto wrote:

ALSA Ctl core allows userspace applications to add elements of bytes type, while there's no APIs for this purpose in alsa-lib.

This commit adds the missing function.

/**

• • \brief Create and add an user-defined control element of bytes type.
• • \param[in] ctl CTL handle.
• • \param[in,out] id ID of the new control element.
• • \param[in] channels The number of channels which a control element includes.

For this control type, "count" might be a better name. Or at least say in the description that this is the number of bytes.
