Sorry, you're totally wrong. The parameter of the
rohc_alloc_decompressor() function is a related compressor on the same
side as the decompressor. That compressor is used by the decompressor
for its feedback channel (see RFC 3095 for the definition of feedback
channels).

On host A:
  comp1 = rohc_alloc_compressor()
  decomp2 = rohc_alloc_decompressor(comp1)

On host B:
  comp2 = rohc_alloc_compressor()
  decomp1 = rohc_alloc_decompressor(comp2)

Didier
