So, Liam already sent a message explaining the technical side of this - the audio subsystem needs to glue together two or more components that don't immediately have anything to do with each other from a device tree point of view and may have rather complex interrelationships. I'd just like to add that I *really* want to see you guys come to some sort of firm and documented conclusion about the way to handle situations like this. Some variant of this seems to come up every single time anyone tries to do anything to do with audio on a system using the device tree and it's getting really repetitive. What would be really useful for audio at this point would be if we could get some sort of decision about how to represent this stuff which we can point people at so that work on systems using the device tree can be done without having to deal with the device tree layout discussions that frequently seem to be involved. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
