Hi,

I have following questions in the compressed offload framework API.

static int soc_compr_set_params_fe(struct snd_compr_stream *cstream, struct snd_compr_params *params) { ... hw_params = kzalloc(sizeof(*hw_params), GFP_KERNEL); if (hw_params == NULL) return -ENOMEM; /*1st question is, what is the use of above allocated memory I do not see this being used in this function*/

The code you're quoting there isn't in mainline. I've also added Vinod to the CCs, you probably want to include him in any discussion of the compressed API.
