[alsa-devel] [PATCH 09/10] ALSA: pcm: Add snd_pcm_ops for snd_pcm_link()

[twischer at de.adit-jv.com]

From: Timo Wischer <twischer at de.adit-jv.com>

snd_pcm_link() can be called by the user as long as the device is not
yet started. Therefore currently a driver which wants to iterate over
the linked substreams has to do this at the start trigger. But the start
trigger should not block for a long time. Therefore there is no callback
which can be used to iterate over the linked substreams without delaying
the start trigger.
This patch introduces a new callback function which will be called after
the linked substream list was updated by snd_pcm_link(). This callback
function is allowed to block for a longer time without interfering the
synchronized start up of linked substreams.
