Ok.
Ok, so ASoC is totally platform-independent, there is no patch to be applied against ASoC in order to make it feasible for the target. Is

ASoC is part of the standard Linux kernel, just build the kernel as you
Good to know. I'm going to look deeper into the kernel config.
would normally. As I said in my previous mail people working with the same embedded Linux distribution as you are would be the best people to ask about this, it is not at all ASoC or ALSA specific.
Ok, I will ask them. But I still hope that someone in the ALSA list faced the same problem.
