> In regard to the HDAudio point, I see clear benefits by having HDAudio and USB aligned in the approach on ASoC side. It's a path that's known, works and is well tested.

The current direction for HDaudio is to have the DSP handle ALL streams with DSP-enabled drivers (or none with snd-hda-intel).

But for USB we absolutely need the ability to bypass the DSP when the resources are exceeded (too many endpoints, too many channels, etc), or when low-latency is required (lowering CPU utilization comes at the expense of latency).

In other words, the USB solution MUST expose two PCM paths, a legacy one and a DSP-one, and a sideband communication between DSP and legacy drivers to manage resources.

HDAudio has none of those concepts, which makes it hard to see what the suggested alignment is?
