[alsa-devel] question on snd_soc_dai_link_event

[Sebastien LEDUC]

Hi Mark,
Coming back on this topic:
We are trying to use the codec <-> codec approach to model our 
on-SoC DSP. 
So in our case it would be quite important that the full sequence
of ops is called, so that we are not dependent on which ops the codec
we use is relying on.

I am even thinking that it could be worth creating an internal PCM 
for the  dai link that has the params field, and to call the standard
soc functions (soc_pcm_open, ...) on it from the dai_link widget DAPM 
callback to start / stop the PCM.

Any feedback?

Thanks
Regards
Sebastien
