I can understand that the metadata is somehow handled in DSP for
seamless switching, but the operation with partial drain is a bit
unclear. How is the operation flow? Does it drain until which point?
In your patch, the runtime state is changed to SETUP after the partial
drain, so the app is requested to give START again?
thanks,
