Hdmi audio is initialized with default parameters. I want to implement the mechanism to update hdmi registers, whenever audio properties got changed (i2s/spdif). raedon/r600 drm dirver is polling the audio ip every 100 ms and reconfigure the hdmi audio block. This is not possible with exynos as all information cannot be collected from i2s tx registers. It is directly set on wm8994 connected through i2c. >> Possible solution: >> 1) drm driver exposing ioctl for setting audio parameters. >> 2) alsa driver notifying the change in audio parameters through kernel notifiers. drm hdmi driver subscribed for the same. > > I am certainly not an audio expert, but I am pretty sure something > along the lines of solution #2 would be better.

But what I did for HDMI transmitter I was working on, is to register a ASoC codec device as a subdevice to the HDMI transmitter. All access to the sound registers is done from that subdevice and you don't need any special notifier hooks, since you can use the normal alsa driver callbacks. It might be a good idea if you could describe how your setup looks exactly. E.g. which components does the audio stream pass through, where does it originate and how the different components related to each other. - Lars _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
