Howerver from audmix IP block integration perspective the only requirement is that the input DAI must be connected to audmix over I2S bus, possible DAI options are SAI, ESAI, etc - I think the approach to mix both device and machine drivers into a single entity is not the best way to go. /Viorel _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
