And compress API was never intended for that :)
Can you tell me the awesome features you would like to support using this
API and I would try to provide you a standard alsa way to do that...
The intention of compress API is to provide a streaming interface for data
transfer and nothing more. To implement DSP features and control them, you
need to look at alsa control interface

Btw there was another person from imgtec who had similar request last year,
never heard back from him after he was supposed to fix stuff in his driver
and come back
