[alsa-devel] asoc: no valid backend routes for PCM: SDP4430 Media

[hong zhang]

Liam,

Arecord gets data from DMIC! Using following commands.

"arecord -f dat -D plughw:0,0 dmic.wav" with "amixer cset numid=61 1 and
amixer cset numid=60 2" to get data from DMIC after turning off two analog captures.

Information from "arecrod -l" is not sync with ABE routing table. For example, "arecord -l" indicates hw:0,10 is DMIC capture but 
ABE diagram indicates plughw:0,0 can be used for DMIC input.

Are "arecord -l" and "aplay -l" still useful?
