Sure, both types of feedback endpoints are expected to be supported by
the audio DSP, as well as sync eps. We have the logic there to modify
the audio sample size accordingly.

Sorry I will update the commit message properly. At the moment we've
only verified audio playback.

The notation is based on the direction of which the audio data is
sourced or pushed on to the DSP. So in playback, the DSP is receiving
audio data to send, and capture, it is transmitting audio data received.
(although we do not support capture yet)

My assumption is that I programmed the DAIs w/ PCM formats supported by
the DSP, so I think the ASoC core should not allow userspace to choose
that path if the hw params don't fit/match.

This is one topic that we were pretty open ended on. At least on our
implementation, only one audio device can be supported at a time. We
choose the latest device that was plugged in or discovered by the USB
SND class driver.

No, this is probably just something our audio DSP uses on the AFE
commands that it receives.

Sure.
