[alsa-devel] SOC that needs L/R data in separate buffers

[jonsmirl at gmail.com]

Is there a format in ALSA for hardware that wants the L/R stereo data
in two different buffers and not inter-leaved? Hardware has two DMA
channels into separate FIFOs for L/R.

If not I guess I have to unpack it inside the device driver. Doing
that will mess up mixing since ALSA won't know where the real DMA
buffer is.

FIFOs are only four samples deeps so that's probably too many
interrupts/sec to do programmed IO when FIFO is half full.
