HDMI channel remapping apparently effects HBR packets on Intel's chips. For compressed non-PCM audio, use "straight-through" channel mapping. For uncompressed multi-channel pcm audio, use normal mapping.

For the record, I haven't acked this patch yet (comments below). I guess Wang Xingchao wanted to give me credit for my idea behind the patch.
Yeah, that's true. :)

Doesn't this reordering change the selected CAs? (they are listed in priority order)
I changed this order because there's a bug during my test. In hdmi_setup_channel_mapping(), when ca=0x13 for 7.1 channels, channel_allocations[ca].channels actually be 7 not 8. So I think both array channel_allocation[] and channel_mapping[] should have the same order.
In general it's bad to mix up the fixes for different things in a single patch. And it's much worse if you do it secretly. So, don't do that. Make it a separate patch.

AFAICS you could use snd_hda_spdif_out_of_nid() and spdif->status here to avoid having to read the value from HW.
Good idea, will change to use that in next version.

if (non_pcm)tmp_mapping[i] = 0xf | (i << 4);elsehdmi_channel_mapping[ca][i] = 0xf | (i << 4);I don't think it makes much sense to create the mapping dynamically, since it is always 0x00 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x55 0x66 0x77. It also complicates the code.
Above channels mapping is good for 8 channels compressed audio stream, but will make "speaker-test -c8" generate sound from wrong speaker position. i.e. you will heard "Front_center" from another speaker, while the real front_center speaker play another position audio.
So I think the default hdmi_channel_mapping should be left as default and use dynamically channel_mapping for compressed audio, not only 8 channels.
Yes, but still the code looks more complex than needed, IMO. You don't have to touch the code creating hdmi_channel_mapping[]. Simply add the block for non_pcm like
if (non_pcm) { for (i = 0; i < channel_allocations[ca].channels; i++) tmp_mapping[i] = i | (i << 4); for (; i < 8; i++) tmp_mapping[i] = 0xf | (i << 4); }

hdmi_setup_channel_mapping(codec, pin_nid, ca);I wonder if we could avoid always rewriting channel mapping... I'm not immediately sure of the best way of doing that (or even if it is worth it), though.
It's another bug. When switch test between "speaker-test -c8" and HBR stream, there's no audio_infoframe update thus "speaker-test -c8" use wrong channel mapping, as described above.
Then you should check whether the channel map is actually changed or not. The driver knows what were written beforehand, and what to be written now. Unconditionally writing the verb doesn't sound good.
