I've set up min_channels and max_channels to be 1 whereever possible.  On a scope the clocking seems to be at the right speed.  Why is it sound is playing twice as fast?  Any ideas?  Any help is appreciated.

Hi Mark,

  I set the DAI to support Stereo and magically it plays the files properly with the correct timing!!

  I took your recommendation as well.  I setup the SSI and code in DSP mode instead of I2S mode and everything plays back fine as expected.

  Thanks for your help, I'd have never figured that out!

Regards,
Louis
