The machine driver (which is presumably the thing that should be doing
the select here, it's not user visible) really ought to know if the DAI
links it is creating are for compressed audio.  This is why I'm still
surprised there's no driver updates as part of this patch.  If the Intel
drivers referencing compressed don't actually implement it then I'd
expect to see patches cleaning up the references to compressed audio.
