Thank you very much Aris for this information.
I am fairly new to sound sub system, I’m glad if you can point me on
the callbacks.

Does the sound driver will be notified aplay\arecord open via
“snd_xxx_open(struct snd_pcm_substeam *substream)” callback?
Which callbacks of sound driver will tell when it received first and
last audio frames\samples?
