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.

Usually prepare and hw_params rely on the type of DAI callbacks, but
here you are mixing "q6afe" and "q6usb" which are shown in your Patch0
diagram as "cpu" and "codec" dais respectively. I don't think it's
correct to tie the two, it's a clear layering violation IMHO. The codec
dai .prepare should not invoke something that modifies the state of the
CPU dai, which should have its own .prepare callback.
