The patch introducing XTENSA_VARIANT_S6000 has already been reviewed by
the architecture maintainer and there is hope that it will make it into
2.6.30. The dma api, which we posted four days ago to LKML, has not
received any comments so far.

Except for the maximum bit clock (50 MHz) the interface doesn't care about
the sampling rate, so I put in all SNDRV_PCM_RATE_* constants.
Shall I remove it?

This was an attempt to avoid symbol exports..
I'll move everything to s6000-i2s.c and export the three necessary
functions.

I guess snd_pcm_stop(substream, SNDRV_PCM_STATE_XRUN) is the way to go then?

The remaining issues will be addressed in the v2 patch as well.
