Hi
I have 8 alsa capture devices for one card.
Each capture device support 1 channel only:

the signal comes in TDM format from external codec ES7210 to my soc's TDM controller.
each capture device has 1 channel that correspond to one of the slot in TDM. i have 8 TDM slots in configuration. so i have 8 devices in total.
the reason that i have so many capture devices with 1 channel each is that, our tdm IC design decides that each tdm slot data_register would be assigned a
dedicated dma channel. this is quite uncommon. thus i have 8 dma channels for 8 tdm slots.
since i can only register one rx dma channel and one tx using devm_snd_dmaengine_pcm_register().
like:
struct dmaengine_pcm {
struct dma_chan *chan[SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_LAST + 1]; // there can be only one tx + one rx dma for struct dmaengine_pcm
...
};
i have to register like 8 times to create 8 devices.
the dts for the cpu dai driver for tdm slot1 would look like:
tdm: audio_tdm@0xffcb000000 {
#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
...
dmas = <&dmac2 31>;
dma-names = "rx";
...
};
now...i want to open all the devices at the same time. and have them save to one single wav file. As if i'm opening one single alsa capture device with 8 channels.
the saved wav file should look something like this (take this 8 channel wav file for example)
You may use the multi plugin from alsa-lib, just google "alsa multi plugin"
for details.
