📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 snd_hdac_ext_stream_decouple (9) 💅

okay bestie so this is the Kernel API Manual page for snd_hdac_ext_stream_decouple(9) — yes the header truncates it to snd_hdac_ext...eam_decouple(9), that's just how the man page tooling does the ellipsis thing, no cap 😭 she's a long name and the terminal had a budget.

It's a short one. Like, short short. But we're gonna read it together because that's what besties do 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

snd_hdac_ext_stream_decouple — decouple the hdac stream 💫

That's it, that's the whole name section. She said what she said.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void snd_hdac_ext_stream_decouple (struct hdac_bus *bus , struct
hdac_ext_stream *hext_stream , bool decouple );

returns void, three args, absolutely zero drama 🦋

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • bus — the HD-audio core bus. the whole bus, bestie, the big one 🚌
  • hext_stream — an HD-audio ext core stream object to initialize. that's the actual stream thing you're working on, okay? the "ext" stands for extra and honestly extra is the vibe 👑
  • decouple — a flag to decouple. it's a bool, so it's a yes/no, on/off, slay/not-slay situation 🙈
ngl the argument names are doing a lot of heavy lifting here — decouple is literally named after the function, iconic behaviour fr fr 💀

quick vibe check reminder: this page is genuinely this small. there's no DESCRIPTION to hunt for, no OPTIONS, no EXAMPLES, no RETURN VALUE section, no ERRORS, no nasty "this is deprecated" warning hiding at the bottom. what you see is what you get 💅 don't go looking for lore that isn't there.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ ty for reading with me, you're literally doing amazing and the kernel is lucky to have you 🧚🍓

sign-off time: this one comes from ./sound/hda/core/ext, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the Kernel API Manual — go forth and decouple responsibly, mwah 😘💖
