It would be good to clarify what sort of endpoints can be supported. I
presume the SOF-synchronous case is handled, but how would you deal with
async endpoints with feedback (be it explicit or implicit)?


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.

Note that it's very hard to make the decision not to support async
endpoints, there are quite a few devices that are exposed as async to
work around an obscure legacy issue on Windows but are really
sof-synchronous endpoints that never ask for any change of pace.

the commit message says the DSP can support Playback and capture, but
here there's capture only ...



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

static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route q6afe_dapm_routes[] = {
+ {"USB Playback", NULL, "USB_RX"},

... but here RX means playback?

I am not sure I get the convention on directions and what is actually
supported?


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)

that aligns with my feedback on the cover letter, if you connect a
device that can support from than 2 channels should the DSP even expose
this DSP-optimized path?


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.

Oh and I forgot, what happens if there are multiple audio devices
connected, can the DSP deal with all of them? If not, how is this handled?


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.

Thanks

Is this a USB concept? I can't recall having seen any parts of the USB
audio class spec that the data can be big or little endian?


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

can you use a dev_err() here and the rest of the code?


Sure.
