I have debug statements in core/oss/pcm_oss.c and in
soc/codecs/wm8990.c.  When I use ALSA to play a sound, I see the
wm8990 debug statements.  However, when the OSS application changes
the rate in snd_pcm_oss_set_rate(), I never see the wm8990 debug
statements for the different rate.

This is using the wm8990 driver, but with a custom hardware interface
(so we did have to write custom I2S drivers to get to the codec).

Very possible.  Based on Sean's reply, I may want to disable OSS
emulation and look at a userspace solution.
