Thanks for raising this to my attention Pierre, yes we are also
experiencing a similar issue since chromium builds will have default sof
tplg and fw, but chrome builds will not. Since our UCMs are in a single
location right now they will contain commands that will not execute on the
defaults and we have no way of indicating to our audio server how to handle
this. I am definitely interested in seeing a feature where we can pass
indicators to the UCM about what we have available.
