My understanding is, that CPU is not involved for calls (except for
setting up cpcap registers correctly). Basically McBSP3 should
remain idle for a call and data goes directly from modem to cpcap.
The same should work for modem <-> BT, except that CPCAP seems to
always provide the clock. That would imply a direct link between
modem and codec / BT?

I can provider register values once I find some time.
