You said that you were adding a method to identify the channel maps.
I.e. Is Front the first of second channel in the stream.
Add extra channels in the stream that can be tagged as non-audio data
and also tag the sort of non audio data they are. They could be gain
values, time stamps, etc.
So, basically just an extra way to capture metadata on a per sample basis.
For example, when capturing this sample, the analog input gain was set to X.
Obviously we don't have the functionality in the driver itself yet,
but making sure the api could permit this would be useful.
