When forwarding or rewinding, the frame counter was not updated. This could result in corrupted channel status words or misplaced Z-type preamble.
Do you mean it is the responsibility for a52 and dca plugin to return the SAFE value returned by snd_pcm_rewindable and snd_pcm_forwardable since they enocde the audio and padding zeros and write to IEC958 ?
The a52/dca plugins create data to be transferred over S/PDIF, but this does not imply they use the iec958 plugin.
The iec958 plugin is used for sound cards that do not have a hardware IEC958 encoder. This is very unlikely nowadays.
