[PATCH 3/8] ASoC: SOF: pcm: add mechanisms to disable ALSA pause_push/release

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



PulseAudio, PipeWire and CRAS do not use pause push/release, which
means that we can optionally disable this capability without any
impact on most users.

In addition, on some platforms, e.g. based on HDaudio DMAs, support for
pause_push/release prevents the system from entering low-power
states.

This patch suggests an opt-in selection via kconfig or kernel
parameter to disable pause.
