Still not convinced. Why would you need to 'externally describe' how compressed data is linked to post-processing. It's all part of DSP firmware, why should anyone care how the decoder provides data to post-processes? You can control post-processes with ALSA controls as for regular PCM. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
