[alsa-devel] [PATCH TINYCOMPRESS 5/14] compress: Take local copy of compr_config structure

[Richard Fitzgerald]

Take a copy of the compr_config structure passed by the client.
This allows the client to use a structure in temporary memory
and avoids the possibility that tinycompress can be broken by the
client changing the content of its compr_config.
