Re: [alsa-devel] Question about DPCM FE vs BE

Hi Pierre-Louis

Thank you for your feedback

It is my understanding that the current code would not support a case where a FE is also a BE.

That said, do we want to preclude it? at some point we probably want to get rid of the FE/BE distinction and have 'domains' that can be chained. So it may not be a good thing to cast a restriction in stone. If at some point we need a list of upstream/downstream clients maybe we should keep this.

Yeah, "domains" is nice idea !!

But, before that, I think we need to cleanup soc-pcm. I'm reading it, but it is too much complex, and too unreadable... I want to cleanup it first. I believe it can help the conversion (= FE/BE to domains).

Thank you for your help !! Best regards --- Kuninori Morimoto
