AFAIK, in the driver side, there is not much special; it assumes that DSD samples are passed over the standard PCM stream, and the driver uses special formats SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_DSD_U8, *_U16 and *_U32 (with _LE and _BE suffix) for 8, 16 and 32bit, instead of the standard SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_U8, *_S16, etc. For those formats, the silence data is assumed to be 0x69, 0x6969, etc. Takashi
