Maybe. I can't remember anymore, and I'm not >sure it even works (I've recently heard people saying it doesn't). Ville is right. For NON-MST (PCM static assignment), the PCM & PORT mapping is simple and static. For DP-MST (PCM dynamic assignment), it is a little complicated. In HDMI audio driver, the per_pin saves all the information. 1. PORT info: per_pin->pin_nid is related to the PORT information. The mapping information is showed in hdmi audio driver function intel_pin_eld_notify(). 2. PCM info: we can get the PCM with per_pin->pcm_idx. With these information, we can tell which PCM is mapped to which PORT. The audio driver can export such information to user space (No sure if such information is already exported.). And user space, such as pulseaudio and so on, can use such information automatically choose which PCM to playback corresponding to the monitor which active window is in.
