Yes, I see...

Can also only find the K datasheet. Not sure what's up with that -- the 
existing ad1848 driver is simplex only.

That may be the easiest test yes. Try setting bit 2 of mss_config (| 4). 
This seems to be the generic way to enable duplex on mss/wss and it works 
here. The capture channel is fixed for a fiven playback channel:

P = 0 ==> C = 1
P = 1 ==> C = 0
P = 3 ==> C = 0

By the way -- I'm running into a bug somewhere in cs4231_lib where sometimes 
the playback IRQ stops firing when you start a capture. Stopping both the 
capture and playback and then re-starting the playback works, after which 
things may or may not hang again at re-starting the capture.

Could also be a hardware bug I guess -- will need to test further again 
(sigh). But just in case you'd also run into this, don't give up on 
ful-duplex if it only sometimes doesn't work right, as there might very well 
be a bug lurking in cs4231_lib.

(bug cannot be in my own code, as that's just setup and nowhere to be found 
anymore when things are running).
