ALSA: dummy - Fake buffer allocations
Instead of allocating the real buffers, use a fake buffer and ignore read/write in the dummy driver so that we can save the resources. For mmap, a single page (unique to the direction, though) is reused to all buffers. When the app requires to read/write the real buffers, pass fake_buffer=0 module option at loading time. This will get back to the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
