Now I'm thinking whether this change is really needed or in the right
direction. I suppose that the driver would change the behavior
depending on the flag of this flag. But then how can application know
that it should not rewind on a certain device and set the flag?
We may, instead, let the driver behaving in the deep buffer mode as
default (or turned on/off via the kcontrol). Then you can simply
return an error for the negative appl_ptr change in ack callback --
which effectively disables the rewind.
