I do not know too much about the dummy PCM. It seems like it is creating a card without DPCM links and fakes a buffer, which is not quite what I need. I will investigate more.
Right, that's what I was imagining the second runtime you proposed looking like.
I don't need the whole struct snd_pcm_runtime, only struct snd_pcm_hardware, at least for now. I looked some more and a suitable place would be struct snd_soc_dpcm, since it is created at runtime and used anyway to characterize a FE <-> BE link. What do you think?
Also, I noticed that the HW constraints added by a DAI driver (a codec for example) are added to PCM's runtime->hw_constraints, even if the DAI driver is part of a BE. Shouldn't these constraints be applied only to BE and eventually merge them to FE (struct snd_pcm_hardware) if dai_link->dpcm_merged_* are set?
