🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • bus — the SDW Bus instance 💖 like, the whole bus vibe, that's her.
  • stream — the SoundWire stream 🌊 the actual stream we're doing surgery on.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? this removes and frees port_rt and master_rt from a stream. both of them. gone. freed. not me crying over port_rt and master_rt 😭💀

lowkey important: it's not just removing, it's freeing too — so those allocations are handled, no cap, and you don't have to go do it yourself. main character energy fr fr 💅
