This all seems very normal for ASoC - something like a stereo DAC
connected to a CPU via I2S is exactly the sort of situation that ASoC is
designed to handle.  However...

...the goal of ASoC is to provide a sound card to user space via the
ALSA APIs so if you're trying to do something else then there's a
massive mismatch between that and what ASoC is designed to achieve.

Could you please clarify what you're attempting to do here?
