> Another question PA needs to deal with is, when this new HDMI PCM device
is plugged in, what other streams can coexist with this new HDMI stream?
What if we have an analog + HDMI combined card, but the controller only
supports one stream to either of them? In that case, we can not even probe
the HDMI device without disturbing the stream potentially being played back
through analog.
Refer to ICH8 datasheet
Independent Bus Master logic for eight general purpose streams: four input
and four output
Support four external Codecs
does it mean that for those hda codecs which support two independent spdif
, the driver can be configured to support two spdif device instead of
slaves ?
e.g. alc1200
Node 0x11 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400300: Mono Digital
Pincap 0x00000010: OUT
Pin Default 0x99430140: [Fixed] SPDIF Out at Int ATAPI
Conn = ATAPI, Color = Unknown
DefAssociation = 0x4, Sequence = 0x0
Misc = NO_PRESENCE
Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT
Connection: 1
0x10
Node 0x1e [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400300: Mono Digital
Pincap 0x00000010: OUT
Pin Default 0x01456130: [Jack] SPDIF Out at Ext Rear
Conn = Optical, Color = Orange
DefAssociation = 0x3, Sequence = 0x0
Misc = NO_PRESENCE
Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT
Connection: 1
0x06

The other case is audio codec and hdmi codec with NVidia controller
can the hda controller support more than two streams?
