    41  * this is the main control interface for the state of a processing unit chain.
       
    42  *
       
    43  * An AudioStream object binds together audio components processing the same data.
       
    44  * An AudioStrem executes the audio processing states as requested by the client. The processing units
       
    45  * attached to a stream will follow the state of the stream.
       
    46  *
       
    47  * The possible states of an AudioStream object are:
       
    48  * EUninitialized: The state which the chain is in initially. 
       
    49  *		  The logical chain can be constructed.  
       
    50  *		  The settings in the logical chain cannot be related to the adaptation because no adaptation has been selected yet. 
       
    51  *
       
    52  * EInitialized: this state is set after a successful initialization request.
       
    53  * EIdle: All the chain resources are allocated, however, no processing time 
       
    54  *		(other than expended to put the chain into EIdle state) is consumed in this phase.
       
    55  * EPrimed: As per EIdle, but the stream can consume processing time, by filling its buffers.  
       
    56  * EActive: The chain has all the resources as per EIdle and EPrimed but also has started to 
       
    57  *	   process the actions requested by the client.  
       
    58  * EDead:   The stream can no longer function due to fatal error.
       
    59  *	   The logical chain still exists, but any physical resources should be reclaimed by the adaptation. 
       
    60  *
       
    61  * The MAudioStreamObserver includes completion callbacks for many of the methods of MAudioStream.
       
    62  * The protocol is such that when an asynchronous method is called and KErrNone is returned,
       
    63  * then the call will be followed by a corresponding callback. if the returned error code from
       
    64  * the asynchronous function is other than KErrNone, then a callback will not be made as
       
    65  * a result of that method call. The callbacks will always occur out-of-context.
       
    66  * Note that many of the functions will also require a context commit for the actual processing to take place.
