I can tell that neither of you have taken notice of what I said about the "has" stuff - it's completely useless to the driver, it conveys no useful information. Moreover, the above isn't going to be the answer to this. With DPCM you need: 1. two DAI links to be setup: 1a. one to connect the CPU DAI to the dummy codec 1b. one to connect the dummy platform/CPU DAI to the SPDIF codec 2. DAPM routes to connect the CPU DAI audio stream(s) to the Codec stream(s) If you have both I2S and SPDIF, then you need another DAI link and a few more DAPM routes. Even if you have just one codec connected, you will need this structure so that the CPU DAI knows which audio outputs are to be enabled. If no DAPM routes exist, the CPU DAI will not enable any outputs. Or at least that's the theory when ASoC DPCM eventually works. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
