Hmm, so do you have multiple separate ports at the "&sound" node
hardware? If so then yeah multiple ports make sense.

But if you only a single physical (I2S?) port at the
"&sound" node hardware, then IMO you should only have one
port and multiple endpoints there according to the graph.txt
binding doc.

In my McBSP case there is only a single physical I2S port
that can be TDM split into timeslots.
