I am afraid I didn't think about this case when I wrote the patches, but if you have a synchronous 4-pin I2S on our SOC without sample-rate conversion support the frequency needs to be updated for capture and playback, not one after the other. Can you provide more details on your hardware? Thanks, -Pierre
