I know. The sound driver just put the PCM data into PES to get it
through DEBI port to the card. Using some kind of container will always be
necessary unless you switch off all other communication. The av7110
needs to know what raw data is coming. The PCM PES did not have too
much overhead and also contained the sample frequency, so that was the
easiest way.
