ALSA: snd-usb: implement new endpoint streaming model
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. Signed-off-by: Daniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
