STRUCT SND_COMPR_PARAMS(9)

💖 struct snd_compr_params — compressed stream params 💖

okay bestie, so this is struct snd_compr_params(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the little bundle that holds everything you need to describe a compressed stream. it's giving "one struct to rule them all" energy. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct snd_compr_params {
    struct snd_compressed_buffer buffer;
    struct snd_codec codec;
    __u8 no_wake_mode;
 };

that's it, that's the whole vibe. three fields, no cap. 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

• buffer — the buffer description, aka the whole "where's my data at" situation 🫶
• codec — the codec parameters, the actual personality of the stream 💅
• no_wake_mode — literally "dont wake on fragment elapsed" — set this and the system stays sleeping when a fragment elapses, periodt 😴

side note bestie: no_wake_mode is a __u8, so keep your values tidy, okay? 💖
