If using DPCM, it seems the most suitable FE DAIs will be memif, and external interface like I2S should be BE DAIs. Do you think it is suitable for our memif to be FE DAIs? Then which memif to used can be described in a machine driver's FE DAIs. But I think this has a problem that our memif is one-direction, playback or capture. So the binded pcm device cannot have playback and capture capability together. May it cause trouble for user space apps that assumes there will be pcmC0D0p, pcmC0D0c?
I think the only userspace application you really have to worry about here is PulseAudio which (at least with UCM) should be able to cope since it needs to handle things like USB microphones. I think everything else I can think of can either cope or has to handle the same use cases as PulseAudio does so should have support.
