Ah, now I see what you mean. I'll replace "they" with "the external sub-devices". The paragraph becomes: The former is mostly useful for existing drivers that currently implement the iteration over all the endpoints themselves whereas the latter is especially intended for devices with both sinks and sources: async sub-devices for external devices connected to the device's sources will have already been set up, or the external sub-devices are part of the master device. How about that? -- Regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ai...@iki.fi
