Still wondering why should host side be concerned about capability they 
are not going to use at all.

Let's assume FW binaries are being updated regularly. Doubtful developer 
will remember to append new switch-case every time new FW-cap pops up - 
requires checking internal FW headers.

In the long run, I do believe the "desynchronization" may happen. I'll 
recheck with our FW guys what they think about us collapsing at this 
point (cfg parsing). In general, cAVS specification is very permissive 
for "outbound" and restrictive against "inbound" data. Parsing goes into 
"outbound" basket.

Agreed, thanks.
