The patches are trying to support dynamically binding PCM to pin in HDMI/DP audio.
The pin will not bind to any PCM if there is not monitor connected. When there is a monitor connected to the port (pin), driver will try to find a proper PCM to assign to the port and setup the pin if necessary.

I updated topic/hda-mst branch with these patches. But the patch 4 needs more fixes, as suggested in another mail.
Overall, I'd like to know whether MST audio really works in the current state, or not. Do you have *any* git branch where MST audio is supposed to work at all?
I have uploaded the patches to: https://github.com/libinyang/linux.git Branch is mst_virtual_pin_github.
There is still an issue when doing the mst audio playback: The later converter selection for pin will overwrite the previous setting. This is the driver bug, I'm debugging it.
Thanks. I tried this branch, but the DP MST audio on my HP laptop dock doesn't seem working. It gets no notification (maybe expected), but the accesses to any HDMI devices result in the error. I tested via aplay -Dhdmi:0,0 to 0,2.
With the latest patchset (e.g. my test/hdmi-jack branch) I get the notification and ELD, but the audio still doesn't come out. So, something seems missing.
Actually I'm thinking how the MST things are supposed to work here. The machine here has a docking station connected to port D, and it has to DP connectors. Meanwhile it has a built-in DP port on port C. The latter works fine while dock ports don't.
Suppose if I plug two monitors on the docking station. How would the audio in HD-audio side be set up?
thanks,
Takashi
