+ * snd_usb_endpoint is a model that abstracts everything related to an

+ *
+ * There are functions to activate and deactivate the streaming URBs and
+ * optional 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 audio applications.
+ *
+ * SND_USB_ENDPOINT_TYPE_DATA handles full audio data payload for both
+ * inbound and outbound traffic.
+ *
+ * SND_USB_ENDPOINT_TYPE_SYNC endpoints are for inbound traffic only and
+ * expect the payload to carry Q10.14 / Q16.16 formatted sync information
+ * (3 or 4 bytes).
+ *
+ * Each endpoint has to be configured prior to being used by calling
+ * snd_usb_endpoint_set_params().
+ *
+ * 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 to stop it will tear the URBs down again.
