Like, it takes all that parsing you already did and actually turns it into real, breathing PCM streams. it's giving "the payoff moment". iykyk.

that's the whole signature, bestie. returns an int, takes one struct hda_codec *. clean. minimal. main character energy fr fr 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • codec — the HDA codec 👑 like, the actual codec you're working on. that's it. that's the argument.

Pass this to build_pcms hda_codec_ops. 🫶

that's literally the whole description and honestly? obsessed. it's one sentence and it ate. so when you're filling in your hda_codec_ops, build_pcms wants this function — the one that builds the PCM streams from the parsed results. hand it over and let it cook 🔥
