I can't see how you'd extend a single I2S setup to support multi- channel audio without either adding more I2S data lines or adding additional WS signals (so making it e.g., a binary number).
That's a very good point too. In light of this, I struggle to understand how the ssl_ssi can specify this:
static struct snd_soc_dai_driver fsl_ssi_dai_template = { .playback = { .stream_name = "CPU-Playback", .channels_min = 1, .channels_max = 32, },
There is talk in the manual about "network mode", which could work by changing the LRCLK only at the first slot - thereby allowing clients to receive all slots just by counting, as long as they know the slot size?
LRCLK _____/-----------------_____/--------- DATA SLOT1|SLOT2|SLOT3|SLOT4|SLOT1
Well idk, I'm way out of my depth here.
