So we had some discussions of the stream states, so I thought it is a
good idea to document the state transitions, so add it documentation

Line containing compr_free (between SETUP and FREE) seems to be misaligned?

If you move prepare to the left and drain in place of drain, it feels 
like you won't need this weird indirection with A
Something like:

Not sure, this is not in the version I posted, arrow is from setup ->
prepare. See https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/20200629075002.11436-2-vkoul@kernel.org/

I don't know how it got reversed in your version, maybe the MUA messed
up??
