I think this could be done. I checked the possible connections in the crossbar switch and it seems all memory interfaces can be connected with all relevant external interfaces. So indeed the memory interfaces could be dynamically allocated instead of statically associated to an external interface. There are two problems I see: Some memory interfaces are limited in the rates they support, they can only do 8k/16k/32k (for speech). How can we know such memory interface should be used? Also there are two programmable hardware gain blocks which can be inserted to the digital audio path using the crossbar switch. There must be some mechanism to configure them into different places.
This (particularly the gain controls) sounds like you want to expose the routing to userspace and use DPCM, the code also seemed to look like it was a good fit for DPCM.
