implicit feedback means support for capture. This is confusing...
I mean, a USB device can expose a capture path, but as of now, we won't
enable the offloading to the audio DSP for it. However, if we're
executing playback, and device does support implicit feedback, we will
pass that along to the audio DSP to utilize.
Not following. Implicit feedback means a capture stream *SHALL* be
started. Are you saying this capture stream is hidden and handled at the
DSP level only? If yes, what prevents you from exposing the capture
stream to userspace as well?
I must be missing something.
My understanding is that with implicit feedback endpoints, it allows for
another data endpoint in the opposite direction to be utilized as a
feedback endpoint (versus having to expose another EP, such as in the
case of explicit feedback). For example, if we are enabling the
playback path (and the device does have a capture data ep) then the data
ep used for the capture path can be used.
That's right, so all the plumbing is enabled for the capture path...
Making a decision to discard the data is very odd, all the work has
already been done at lower levels, so why not expose the captured data?
So that would be at the USB level, but from the audio DSP end, there are
still things that need to be enabled to route the data properly. For
feedback endpoints, the data we're actually sending won't involve the
audio streaming side of things on the DSP.
