[alsa-devel] WL1273 FM Radio driver...

2 Digital interfaces are possible for FM WL1273:
- the external connection: the I2S lines are used for the FM PCM samples
- the internal connection: the BT PCM interface is used for the FM PCM samples
For both configuration we have a set of HCI commands to configure the FM audio 
path and one of my concerns is to know if the wl1273_codec should handle the audio path configuration 
and the switch between FM and BT SCO?
