Hi Sakamoto-san
Here, I'm not yet 100% understanding about these value. I think, above are constraints of whole driver (= it supports both 2ch, 8ch).
It's not my intension. I don't know exactly where you implement 'struct snd_soc_pcm_stream' data in your driver. Perhaps as a part of 'struct snd_soc_dai_driver' data.
OK, thank you for your help I will investigate it.
About rate_min/max and rates. is this "rate_min" 48000 (= maximum rate of min case = 8ch) ?? not 8000 ? (For example, if 2ch supports 8000-192000, 8ch supports 8000-48000)
And is .rates "SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_192000" ? not SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000_192000 ?
In my code snippets, I assumed that the hardware supports just two modes; 8ch/48.0kHz and 2ch/192.0kHz. You can expand the snippets as your case. Even if using SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000_192000, role of the 'hw_rule_rate()' and the 'hw_rule_channels()' is invariant. The former checks channels parameters and constrains rate parameter with valid interval. The latter checks and constraints vice versa with valid list.
Sorry for my un-understandable example. Thank you for your detail explanation, it is very helpful for me. I will invariant and try to implement this feature
