When CPU MASTER was default, people asked for SLAVE. But nobody asked for MASTER since we selected SLAVE by default. Both work equally well, it just saves our efforts.
What were people actually complaining about? I suspect it was the root clock for the audio tree that they were concerned about rather than the I2S bus clock.
Btw, I thought CODEC usually provide more accurate signals and hence CPU SLAVE is better. Is is too wrong?
Well, the main issue is the quality of the root clock for the tree which I'd not propose to change away from the CODEC. In terms of just passing through a well generated clock at a useful rate it's fairly rare to have problems, the problem is getting that 256fs (or whatever) root clock.
