Thanks, this looks good and in line with discussions done in Audio uConf

Can we split the ALSA changes and ASoC changes to different patches
please?

Also please post driver support for this API..

Lastly, documentation needs update about this call

This should be optional as gapless is optional

I think we should bump the compress version too for checking in userland
about this support

Can this be 1st patch to prepare for this change?

this jump is superfluous

maybe use a compress_ops pointer to make this look and read better :)
