Hi Russell: I got an idea that we can split the pcm dma part code out, after that we can chose the buffer transmit way (AUD_DMA or I2S). In that way i will make another i2s driver to transmit those buffer, but in the mainline kernel already lanched an rockchip i2s driver (rockchip_i2s.c), so seams it maybe not an good way. what's your opinion, russell?
