Until the commit e11f0f90 ("ALSA: pcm: remove SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL1_INFO internal command"), there was a possibility to pass information about the synchronized streams to the user space. The mentioned commit removed blindly the appropriate code with an irrelevant comment. The revert may be appropriate, but since this API was lost for several years without any complains, it's time to improve it. The hardware parameters may change the used stream clock source (e.g. USB hardware) so move this synchronization ID to hw_params as read-only field. It seems that pipewire can benefit from this API (disable adaptive resampling for perfectly synchronized PCM streams) now. Note that the contents of ID is not supposed to be used for direct comparison with a specific byte sequence. The "empty" case is when all bytes are zero (driver does not offer this information) and all other cases must be only used for equal comparison among PCM streams (including different sound cards) if they are using identical hardware clock.
