Drivers add rules of parameters to runtime of PCM substream, when applications open ALSA PCM character device. When applications call ioctl(2) with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_REFINE or SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS, the rules are applied to the parameters and return the result to user space. The rule can have dependency between parameters. Additionally, it can have condition flags about application of rules. Userspace applications can indicate the flags to suppress change of parameters. This commit attempts to describe the mechanism in a shape of code comments.
