[RFC PATCH v2 2/6] ALSA: compress: add new ioctl for setting codec parameters

From: Srinivas Kandagatla
Date: Tue Jul 21 2020 - 13:03:40 EST


For gapless playback it is possible that each track can have different
codec profile with same decoder, for example we have WMA album,
we may have different tracks as WMA v9, WMA v10 and so on

Or if DSP's like QDSP have abililty to switch decoders on single stream
for each track, then this call could be used to set new codec parameters.

Existing code does not allow to change this profile while doing gapless
playback.

This patch adds new SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_CODEC_PARAMS IOCTL to allow
userspace to set this new parameters required for new codec profile.
