The ideal thing in a component model would be to represent those sample rate convertors directly to usrspace so the routing and rewriting is explicit.
I assume that it would be OK for the sample rate converter itself to expose mixer controls to configure its input and output rates so the user could configure as needed?
I don't think so, I'd not expect the individual drivers to be doing anything user visible here - if we know what a digital transformation looks like the framework should be offering anything that's needed to users (and hiding controls that don't have any practical control in a given system).
Is there any *need* for these to be user configurable? What's normally happening at the minute is that either the external DAIs are fixed configuration and the DSP just converts everything or there's no format conversion done and things get passed through.
I can see that in most cases there are a finite set of configurations that the end user may use. However, we would like to make the configuration flexible as possible and this also allow us to test lots of different configurations for verification purposes as well.
Internal testing often requires things that can't be exposed to users, the extreme examples are things like battery chargers with health and safety issues if the full range of control is available.
