I can't come up with a scenario where multiple listeners would want access to an FCP transaction. If the application is the originator of the request, it's also the only one that can make sense out of the response as in the general case you need to know what you asked in order to know what the response means. So there is little use in having multiple receivers for a response. I case the application is the FCP target, there is also little use in multiplexing as it discards any responses generated by the application, rendering it useless as an FCP target. IMHO it is impossible to reliably match an FCP response to its request without relying on ordering. There is no information in the FCP frame to allow other mechanisms. If two applications send the same AV/C command, but with slightly different parameters, there is no way to tell what response is meant for what application. Furthermore, some (most?) of the devices don't support incoming FCP commands while another one is still being processed. In any case they don't have to, and can send a 'REJECTED' response to this second request. Where does this response end up? After re-reading section 8 of the AV/C Digital Interface Command Set General Specification v4 (TA1999026), I think that the only way to reliably implement this is by moving the FCP and AV/C transaction logic into the kernel. I don't see how you can reliably implement the following scenario using the current API/ABI: """ APP1 sends AVC_cmd_1 to device device responds with INTERIM APP2 sends AVC_cmd_1 to device device responds with REJECTED as it doesn't support two AVC_cmd_1's this response should not end up at APP1, as that has a correct request pending. device sends response to INTERIM, which should end up at APP1. """ I think this can only be implemented by tracking which AVC commands have been sent to what device, regardless of the userspace application (or kernel driver) that sent them, and disallowing any transactions that result in scenarios such as the above.
