It's not 100% possible to detect when the host stops data transfer - we can detect two scenarios: - Cable disconnected - Interface alt 0 selected but it's equally possible to just leave the device configured as it was and stop sending data. While resetting state may be necessary when the cable is disconnected, if the host is just stopping and restarting the stream then I don't see why the gadget application should have to reconfigure the PCM device. It's clearly useful to have some indication of host state, but I'm not at all convinced the PCM state is the best way to provide that. John
