What I want is for this to be _correct_ and _not_ to introduce silly restrictions which break people's setups. > When DPCM will handle the formats and rates, the audio subsystem will > find by itself if such stream will go to the HDMI only or to the S/PDIF > only or to both.

Except, as Mark has already pointed out, and as I keep pointing out to you, and you keep refusing to accept, the kirkwood driver as it stands is *not* a DPCM driver. It makes no use of that stuff at all. What you're doing in kirkwood-i2s is providing two plain DAI links, and then insisting that only one can be active any any one time. A DPCM solution provides at least one frontend DAI link and at least one backend DAI link. Your code does not do this. The second point is that - and as I keep telling you - that as soon as you couple your existing code (which restricts things like the sample rates) you can no longer output anything else through the optical out ON THE CUBOX. For this statement, I'm not talking _generally_, I'm talking _specifically_ about _one_ _platform_. > All we need actually is some more code in DPCM or multi-codec or > whatever mechanism which will route the stream according to the rates > and formats. Yes, DPCM currently lacks full support, that's been known about for some time - I've reported it to Mark, but it seems that this isn't something that is going to get fixed until others put work into it. > Eventually, the TDA998x is used in other machines.

Which bit of "we need to support both I2S and SPDIF" in my previous emails was not clear. Which bit of "We should only support SPDIF on the Cubox" was not clear? I *fully* acknowledge that we need to support both, but I'm putting a _strong_ recommendation to you _with_ technical reasons why we should _only_ support SPDIF on the Cubox. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
