I wish I could help but unfortunately my practical knowledge of kernel
workqueues is close to zero :-( Of course I will test the patches and
will extend them for quartet with testing too.

It is useful only for the external clock mode. In fact the detection of
incoming SPDIF rate is not reliable for internal clock in Juli (while it
works just fine in Quartet, its FPGA pins configure the SPDIF receiver
differently). IMO the thread could be running only when clock is
switched to external.

Thanks a lot,
