Hi, I'm trying to create a sound card which has two codecs associated with one DAI. One codec is responsible for playback and the other one for capture. I can see in soc-pcm.c that __soc_pcm_hw_params() is checking if the stream is valid for the current codec with snd_soc_dai_stream_valid() and if it isn't it is not calling the hw_params() callback. But this check is not there in __soc_pcm_open() which calls snd_soc_dai_startup() for every codec. Can someone shed some light on this? Why is startup() called for codecs that don't support the current stream? Thank you! Best Regards, Peter Suti
