Sorry for responding again. I read your email again, and wanted to also
add that aside from the above, which are all within the ASoC layer, as
we discussed previously, we should have a kcontrol in the USB SND card
to determine if there is an ASoC platform card capable of offloading.
This is also available from the SND card created by the USB audio device.

Thanks
