[alsa-devel] Accessing snd_soc_read/snd_soc_write directly for diagnostics

Hi folks,

I know this is a strange request, however, for diagnostic purposes in our embedded system, we would like to talk directly to the codec registers of our sound chip, bypassing alsa. I have the driver compiled into the kernel (not loaded as a module).

Is it possible to create a program which can talk to the snd_soc_read and snd_soc_write functions directly? I'm not sure if this is an option, but if it is, I'd appreciate a pointer to something similar to use as a guide.

TIA Mike
