that is true.

What is the use-case to use more than one audio sink devices at the same
time for a laptops?

How do you test it? I never tested anything like that on a full desktop
setup.

May be some manual setup in Wireplumber, but not 100% sure about
multiple stream handling.

It is absolutely possible to run all the streams in parallel from the
Audio hardware and DSP point of view.

One thing to note is, On Qualcomm DP IP, we can not read/write registers
if the DP port is not connected, which means that we can not send data
in such cases.

This makes it challenging to work with sound-servers like pipewire or
pulseaudio as they tend to send silence data at very early stages in the
full system boot up, ignoring state of the Jack events.

These patches have nothing to do with how we model the muxing in UCM or
in tplg.

so these can go as it is irrespective of how we want to model the DP
sinks in the UCM or tplg.
