that is very surprising...

This would seem to limit the concept of an avs path to a single host DMA
channel, which somewhat contradicts that there can be multiple pipelines
in the same path, or that a path can contain mixers.

And even if this is a single dma, what does this represent? the
stream_tag? the BE DMA for SSP/DMIC?

Please clarify the concepts first, it's frustrating to discover this at
patch 8.

I must admit not clearly seeing how the definitions of
'avs_path_binding' and 'avs_tplg_binding' are related.


More specifically, having a template for something that directly
connects a source to a sink is far from intuitive.
