Mark, thanks again for your insights.  I believe the sample rate is correct.I can see it on the scope and FRAME frequency is equivalent to thesample rate.  I ran into a bit of a problem though.  If you are right aboutthat each bit in the clock cycle is being recorded I think I have just enoughbits in my clock for stereo data.  If I reduce it though I run into theproblem where I don't have enough bits to clock through all my data. :(
This probably seems like a complete noob question.  How exactly do I modify the CPU DAI to not account for each bit in the clock cycle?
The CODEC is the clock master in my system.
Thanks Mark!  You have been tremendous help.
