snd_compr_u..._in_draining(9)

💅 snd_compr_u..._in_draining(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the Linux kernel sound subsystem, the manual name on this one is literally snd_compr_u..._in_draining(9) (yes the title got truncated, she's mysterious like that 🎀), and you need to know if a compressed stream is allowed to pause while it's draining. Bestie, I got you. Let's go. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

snd_compr_use_pause_in_draining — the function that lets you pause and resume while a stream is in the draining state. Yes, both. Iconic behavior honestly. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void snd_compr_use_pause_in_draining (struct snd_compr_stream *substream
);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• substream — the compress substream you're setting, aka the main character of this whole operation 💖

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the vibe check: this call allows pause and resume in the draining state. That's it, that's the whole assignment. ✨

But listen — only a HW driver that actually supports this transition is allowed to call this API. Not every driver gets to sit at this table, no cap. If yours doesn't support it, this is not your moment, and that's okay. 💀

Cute sign-off time 🌸: this one lives over in ./include/sound, dated October 2026, and the page goes by the very dramatic, very truncated title snd_compr_u..._in_draining(9) — iykyk 🎀💜🦋
