I could understand your idea, and had read previous some discussions. I would like to have it on upstream too. Can you show me about your plan for next step ?
Hi Kuninori,
I have no plan. My Cubox machine has too many specific code and it is used in an organ as the sound synthesizer. I will not do any more development in its kernel. In my new machine, an Orange PI 2, while audio on HDMI is working for me, there is still a lot of job to do aside (YUV video, analog audio, embedded wifi...) and I am blocked by the HDMI driver which has no free license nor documentation about the hardware. So, I have not submitted yet a patch series about audio for this machine.
Otherwise, if you read the previous discussions, I think the most important is Mark's remark (Sat, 7 Feb 2015 16:33:55 +0800 in the alsa-devel mailing-list):
We already have simple-card to provide a binding for trivial systems and don't want to end up with a never ending series of slightly more complicated bindings which each cover slightly different sets of systems in ways that users struggle to differentiate between.
