/*
* snd_usb_endpoint is a model that abstracts everything related to an
* USB endpoint and its streaming.
*
* There are functions to activate and deactivate the streaming URBs and
* optinal callbacks to let the pcm logic handle the actual content of the
* packets for playback and record. Thus, the bus streaming and the audio
* handlers are fully decoupled.
*
* There are two different types of endpoints in for audio applications.
*
* SND_USB_ENDPOINT_TYPE_DATA handles full audio data payload for both
* inbound and outbound traffic.
*
* SND_USB_ENDPOINT_TYPE_SYNC are for inbound traffic only and expect the
* payload to carry Q16.16 formatted sync information (3 or 4 bytes).
*
* Each endpoint has to be configured (by calling
* snd_usb_endpoint_set_params()) before it can be used.
*
* The model incorporates a reference counting, so that multiple users
* can call snd_usb_endpoint_start() and snd_usb_endpoint_stop(), and
* only the first user will effectively start the URBs, and only the last
* one will tear them down again.
