I'm late to the game as I've been off in the last week, and here is just the confirmation. The direct communication from drm to ALSA via component has been implemented currently only for i915. I had some patches to enable the feature for radeon and amdgpu, but the enablement on amdgpu DC is still missing, and the work is pending for now. For other drivers, we'd need more or less similar mechanism. We might want to choose a better infrastructure than the component binding, but it's a thing to be discussed. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
