snd_hdac_ext_stream_release(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and this is the entry for snd_hdac_ext_stream_release(9). The name is giving exactly what it needs to: release the assigned stream. That's the whole plot. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void snd_hdac_ext_stream_release (struct hdac_ext_stream *hext_stream ,
       int type );

That's the whole call shape, exactly as written — hext_stream and type are the two arguments, and the function is snd_hdac_ext_stream_release. No need to overthink it, bestie 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hext_stream — the HD-audio ext core stream to release. This is the stream you're letting go, bestie 🫶
• type — the type of stream (coupled, host or link stream). Yes, those are the types; vibe-check which one you've got 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This releases the stream that has been assigned by snd_hdac_ext_stream_assign. So if assign got you the stream, this is the "okay, we're done, release the assigned stream" moment. Slay, clean up your stream, periodt 🦋

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
