PCM format conversion and volume control are independent audio signal processing actions. To have better functional separation of components the 2 functionalities of existing Volume component shall be separated. Low power use cases call for for FW components footprint optimization as well.
Requested change is to create 2 separate components : PCM converter and Volume control and implementation of PCM conversion functions as a library functions (generic & optimized for HiFi co-processor) that can be used i.e. by Keyphrase Detection component.
