    ALSA: snd-usb: implement new endpoint streaming model · 8fdff6a3
    Daniel Mack authored
    This patch adds a new generic streaming logic for audio over USB.
    
    It defines a model (snd_usb_endpoint) that handles everything that
    is related to an USB endpoint and its streaming. There are functions to
    activate and deactivate an endpoint (which call usb_set_interface()),
    and to start and stop its URBs. It also has function pointers to be
    called when data was received or is about to be sent, and pointer to
    a sync slave (another snd_usb_endpoint) that is informed when data has
    been received.
    
    A snd_usb_endpoint knows about its state and implements a refcounting,
    so only the first user will actually start the URBs and only the last
    one to stop it will tear them down again.
    
    With this sort of abstraction, the actual streaming is decoupled from
    the pcm handling, which makes the "implicit feedback" mechanisms easy to
    implement.
    
    In order to split changes properly, this patch only adds the new
    implementation but leaves the old one around, so the the driver doesn't
    change its behaviour. The switch to actually use the new code is
    submitted separately.
