Re: [PATCH v3 0/5] ALSA: hda - hdmi: ATI/AMD multi-channel and HBR support

[Olivier Langlois <olivier@trillion01.com>]

Anssi,

With your speaker-test patch (v1), I have been able to make sure that I
could use the 8 channels with my AMD card.

for the ramp up/down testing. I have the same result than with v2 of
your patch.

eld#0.0 file content is identical as well.

DTS-HD and Dolby True-HD are sent correctly and recognized by the
receiver by using the files from:

with the command:s

aplay -Dhdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0,AES0=6 -c8  -r192000 -f s16_le thd.spdif
aplay -Dhdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0,AES0=6 -c8  -r192000 -f s16_le dts.spdif
