To make tracking changes and discussions easier, I translated the initial discussion to .rst format an put it on my private branch

Initial headsup:

sink/src APIs should have states. Based on a state, module would know if the sink/source has already been configured and if it is allowed to process data from if / put result to it

@marcinszkudlinski I think pipeline 2.0 has made some recent progress upstream, do you think we will be able to target this PR in Q4 for merge or do you still have many code PRs pending ?

@lgirdwood
The main problem is changing all components/modules API to sink/src

currently the modules don't use any API for interaction with buffers, that makes any modifications extremely hard. The modules are bound hard to comp_buffer and some internal pipeline structures
I don't think we can target P2.0 for Q4, unless we'll find some resources to deal with the modules.
