[alsa-devel] ASoC: Two codecs on a single CPU DAI

[Benoit Cousson]

Hi Petr,

I'm about to release a v4, but you can used the previous version that 
was working fine for my setup.

I'm glad to have more users for the series, because my setup is so 
simple that I cannot validate all the code I'm about to change :-(

Bottom line; The more, the merrier.

Regards,
Benoit
