It depends sound data path. basically, sound data goes memory-to-device
or device-to-memory. but, it needs special IP if you want to use special effect.
In such case, sound data path will be memory-to-device-to-device, or device-to-device-to-memory.
This path based on board, and, our reference board is using above path.
