[alsa-devel] concept of substream...

Hi,

I was trying to understand the concept of substream. So can we have a device which can have support say 5 substreams and these are controlled (start/stop) independent of each other. At any instance we can have any number of substreams active and runtime we should be able to activate/deactivate a particular substream. Is that doable with this concept or should i look at something else?
