It seems to be a dma problem and not directly related to wm9712.


But the not working microphone input still bothers me. I suppose this
is related to not beeing able to change some muxes:

$ amixer sset "Mic Select Source" 'Mic 2'
 Simple mixer control 'Mic Select Source',0
   Capabilities: enum
   Items: 'Mic 1' 'Differential' 'Mic 2' 'Stereo'
   Item0: 'Mic 1'

$ amixer sset "Differential Source" 'Line'
Simple mixer control 'Differential Source',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Mic' 'Line'
  Item0: 'Mic'

They refuse to change their Item0 because they are defined as
SND_SOC_DAPM_MUX without a correlating path->name so that
snd_soc_dapm_mux_update_power() (in sound/soc/soc-dapmc) doesn't
change anything.

It works in 2.6.33, but current kernel has different mux handling and
it seems that no one since cared that much about microphone support.

Mark, can you confirm this, purpose a fix or even come up with
a patch?
