[alsa-devel] FW: [Alsa-user] raw spdif frame capture

[Brett Andrews]

Hi:

Anyone have any ideas about the following?  As a side note, when I saw
raw I don't mean 61937 raw (just preambles and payload), I mean 60958
raw (block sync, payload, VUCP).

Thanks,
Brett

I haven't got a lot of help for you as I'm not knowledgeable about this
but I can give you some suggestions.

You could ask you question on alsa-devel mailing list as they know the
internals and might be able to answer your question directly.

You could look at the alsa driver code.  Go to
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ and download
File:alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2. 
<ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2>
This is the latest official alsa version.  Unpack it and then look in
"top level"/alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1.  That has the C source.
