I'm sorry, I can't really help with the AK4550 as I don't know anything
about it.

Fwiw, the S3C24xx code works well. You may want to configure it as I2S
master and see what happens when you apply power to the codec.

I would suggest contacting AKM for information on the input pins.

Please check 1,2 and 3 with AKM.

It soon will. We are about a week or 2 away from hosting our git tree.

Snapshots are here atm :-

Mailing list is here (i.e. this list), although I'm not aware of any
development IRC channel for alsa - this would probably be a good thing
to have.....
