The direct output thread was originally intended for:
 1. audio output HALs that can't do down-sampling for certain stream
types
 2. voice processing e.g. echo cancellation
 3. non-PCM output in low-power mode
It has been used on at least one platform a while ago, but has not
been used recently that I know of. The concept of the direct output
thread without software mixing has potential, but it may need more
design before it will be generally useful.
