OK. no problem, I can do that: only the first stream is switched and the second is rejected. But, this means that there will be a lot of errors when DPCM will be used, because, in most cases for the Cubox (kirkwood audio + tda998x), both ways I2S and S/PDIF will be activated at the same time for a single stream (you may note that the routes from the second input cannot be blocked by the CODEC after it received the first input, because these routes have already been computed). -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
