The AK4118A is a digital audio transceiver supporting 8 input channels at 192kHz and with 24bits resolution. It converts the S/PDIF signal to I2S format and is configurable over I2C.
This driver introduce a minimal support of the AK4118, like selecting the input channel, reading input frequency and detecting some errors.
I'm curious, from what it seems, there is no checking that the input sample rate actually matches the configured sample rate? It's perfectly understandable for a driver which has 'minimal support', but it's something a user must be aware of; for instance if someone does
arecord -r 48000 output.wav
when the input data actually has a rate of 44100 Hz then the file will be written with a header specifying 44100 Hz but the data will actually be 48000 Hz.
It's not an objection on my part, just an observation. I don't know how ALSA could enforce this in any way; ideally (barring automatic sample rate conversion) one would want an error message that the sample rate specified when opening the stream does not match the sample rate of the S/PDIF input data.
