Depending on what exactly you're doing here you may find that this is
best implemented in user space with an ALSA plugin rather than doing it
as part of a driver.  If you do want to do this in kernel space then the
parts of an ASoC driver which transfer audio data are just the same as
those for any other ALSA driver so things like sound/arm/aaci.c may
provide useful examples.
