So we had some discussions of the stream states, so I thought it is a
good idea to document the state transitions, so add it documentation

Thanks Vinod for doing this,
Makes things much clear on the state-machine side!

The STOP state doesn't seem quite right to me, sorry.

the direction of the DRAIN-STOP comp_free() arrow seems wrong? Of if it 
is correct, then something's missing to exit the STOP state so that the 
stream can be opened again.

We should call it free, Will update

Once stream is freed, it can't be opened again.

But we have trigger stop which is not comprehended here, I will add
compr_stop() above which would transition to SETUP state. And a stopped
stream can be freed up as well, so one more transition from SETUP to
FREE.
