// interleave, packing, alignment, etc.  The reason is that NBAIO_Format tries to abstract out only
// the combinations that are actually needed within AudioFlinger.  If the list of combinations grows
// too large, then this decision should be re-visited.

    // negotiate() must called first.  The purpose of negotiate() is to check compatibility of
    // formats, not to automatically adapt if they are incompatible.  It's the responsibility of
    // whoever sets up the graph connections to make sure formats are compatible, and this method
    // just verifies that.  The edges are "dumb" and don't attempt to adapt to bad connections.
    // How it works: offerer proposes an array of formats, in descending order of preference from
    // offers[0] to offers[numOffers - 1].  If offeree accepts one of these formats, it returns
    // the index of that offer.  Otherwise, offeree sets numCounterOffers to the number of
    // counter-offers (up to a maximumum of the entry value of numCounterOffers), fills in the
    // provided array counterOffers[] with its counter-offers, in descending order of preference
    // from counterOffers[0] to counterOffers[numCounterOffers - 1], and returns NEGOTIATE.
    // Note that since the offerer allocates space for counter-offers, but only the offeree knows
    // how many counter-offers it has, there may be insufficient space for all counter-offers.
    // In that case, the offeree sets numCounterOffers to the requested number of counter-offers
    // (which is greater than the entry value of numCounterOffers), fills in as many of the most
    // important counterOffers as will fit, and returns NEGOTIATE.  As this implies a re-allocation,
    // it should be used as a last resort.  It is preferable for the offerer to simply allocate a
    // larger space to begin with, and/or for the offeree to tolerate a smaller space than desired.
    // Alternatively, the offerer can pass NULL for offers and counterOffers, and zero for
    // numOffers. This indicates that it has not allocated space for any counter-offers yet.
    // In this case, the offerree should set numCounterOffers appropriately and return NEGOTIATE.
    // Then the offerer will allocate the correct amount of memory and retry.
