snd_hdac_stream_format(9)

✨ snd_hdac_stream_format(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to snd_hdac_stream_format(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet and honestly? kind of a serve. it takes your format deets and turns them into an SDxFMT value. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hdac_stream_format — convert format parameters to SDxFMT value. literally its whole personality 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned int snd_hdac_stream_format (unsigned int channels , unsigned
int bits , unsigned int rate );

so she takes three unsigned ints and hands you back an unsigned int. no drama, no cap. 🫶

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• channels — the number of channels. like how many lil audio streams are showing up to the party 🎧
• bits — bits per sample. yes, the bit depth, the resolution, the ✨quality✨
• rate — the sample rate. how fast the samples are sampling, iykyk ⭐

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the format bitset — and if it's invalid? zero. that's the fail state, bestie, no format for you 😭

ngl, "bitset or zero" is giving very much pass/fail main character energy 💀
