Like I said in my last mail you're probably trying to break new ground
here.  You're trying to bind all the CODECs together and treat them as
one digital interface, currently the code does a series of point to
point links multiplexed on a bus only.

That's not a good sign...  If you've modified the driver you probably
want to look into submitting your modifications back upstream.
