Now we support S16 PCM format in addition.  For this, we need to set
packet_mode=1 in AUD_CONFIG register.
While I think of it, there is a hidden benefit here. If this mode
works, then most likely we can push IEC61937 data formatted as S16 PCM
directly. For passthrough we needed to left-shit the data, if this
mode does what it says it should make some people happy. The U,C,V
should not be added in the data stream however (as done by the hdmi:
plugin), there is a separate register to program then.
Yes, embedding the raw IEC data stream is an interesting move,
indeed.  But right now I'm not sure which configuration allows that
operation mode.

In my patch, I just played with AUD_CONFIG packet_mode bit.  Maybe
other fields (fmt, flat, user_bit) may play some relevant role?

Also, Channel Status 0 register have lots of uninitialized fields.
Some of ch0 bits are carried from AES status bits, but many are left
untouched.
I think there are two registers for a total for 40bits that can store what will go in the channel status bits. The remaining bits to 192 are not supported. That's an optimization that existed even before I joined, no idea why they tried to save 152 bits...

In most cases you don't even need to configure stuff, the receivers don't trust all these bits and will determine PCM/IEC61937 encoding based on the actual payload, not the control bits (with the side effect that switching between PCM/IC61937 takes time)



thanks,

Takashi
