[alsa-devel] Fast Track Ultra (8R): Sync source switch

[Felix Homann]

Hi,

I've taken a look again at the usbmon logs I posted some years ago.

It seems that by switching the sync source you essentially tell the
FTU to use a different altsetting for iface 2:

Switching  "Sync Source" from "Internal" to "External" (see last line):

If I haven't missed something we can achieve this by adding a quirk
hook to either find_format() or set_format() in pcm.c.

Daniel, can you think of a generic way to do this?

(Note to all: can't test anything on this topic because I don't have a
S/PDIF device here.)

BTW, has anybody tested the mixer patch I posted a couple of days ago?

Regards,

Felix
