[RFC] Add duplex sound support for USB devices using implicit feedback

Hi,

Since I had problems getting duplex audio to work on my motu m2 I created the following patch to get duplex audio to work. This is based on my understanding that when implicit feedback is used the size of the next output is determined by the previous input, for this the content of the input is ignored but in case of duplex audio the content can actually contain audio information, so long as both input and output are configured the same both sould be usable.

With the above in mind an endpoint can be opened/configured a second time so long as it is an implicit sync endpoint and the config does not change. So that is what this patch does, the check if the config does not change might be a bit more complex then needed, but it seems to work on my motu m2.

Fixes bug 207023 and should fix 103751 as well

Kind Regards,

Erwin Burema
