+ * Allocation:
+ *   Messages are initially allocated in the ops->hw_params() after the size and

+ *
+ * Freeing:
+ *   Messages can be safely freed after the queue has been successfully flushed
+ *   (RELEASE command in the ops->sync_stop()) and the ops->hw_free() has been
+ *   called.
+ *
+ *   When the substream stops, the ops->sync_stop() waits until the device has
+ *   completed all pending messages. This wait can be interrupted either by a
+ *   signal or due to a timeout. In this case, the device can still access
+ *   messages even after calling ops->hw_free(). It can also issue an interrupt,
+ *   and the interrupt handler will also try to access message structures.
+ *
+ *   Therefore, freeing of already allocated messages occurs:
+ *
+ *   - in ops->hw_params(), if this operator was called several times in a row,
+ *     or if ops->hw_free() failed to free messages previously;
+ *
+ *   - in ops->hw_free(), if the queue has been successfully flushed;
+ *
+ *   - in dev->release().
