A BE connected to more than one FE, e.g. in a mixer case, can go through the following transitions. play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is STOP (see note [1] below) release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP play FE1 -> BE state is START pause FE1 -> BE state is PAUSED play FE2 -> BE state is START release FE1 -> BE state is START stop FE2 -> BE state is START stop FE1 -> BE state is STOP play FE1 -> BE state is START play FE2 -> BE state is START (no change) pause FE1 -> BE state is START (no change) pause FE2 -> BE state is PAUSED release FE1 -> BE state is START release FE2 -> BE state is START (no change) stop FE1 -> BE state is START (no change) stop FE2 -> BE state is STOP The existing code for PAUSE_RELEASE only allows for the case where the BE is paused, which clearly would not work in the sequences above. Extend the allowed states to restart the BE when PAUSE_RELEASE is received, and increase the refcount if the BE is already in START. [1] the existing logic does not move the BE state back to PAUSED when the FE2 is stopped. This patch does not change the logic; it would be painful to keep a history of changes on the FE side, the state machine is already rather complicated with transitions based on the last BE state and the trigger type.
