In IEC 61883-6, several types of data are available in AM824 format. The
data is transferred in each data channel. The position of data channel in
data block differs depending on model.
Current implementation has an array to map the index of data channel in an
data block to the position of actual data channel. The implementation
allows each driver to access the mapping directly.
In later commit, the mapping is in specific structure pushed into an
opaque pointer. Helper functions are required.
This commit adds the helper functions for this purpose. In IEC 61883-6,
AM824 format supports many data types, while this specification easily
causes over-engineering. Current AM824 implementation is allowed to handle
two types of data, Multi Bit Linear Audio data (=PCM samples) and MIDI
conformant data (=MIDI messages).
