I have copied the contents of /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 at the end of
this message. Notice that there are three nodes (0x07, 0x08 and 0x09)
which claim to support PCM input.

I really want to believe this codec can do three things at a time.

The same nodes I mentionned above (0x07, 0x08 and 0x09 in
/proc/asound/card0/codec#2) show no support for 8 kHz sample rate.
This is confirmed by the failing calls to
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate().

This is interesting information, thanks.
