That is what I thought. We will fix the code though.

First, please tell us your alsa version (/proc/asound/version)

Please move the ak4114 init call from the controls section to the init
section (just like in juli.c) and test:

OK, let's do some troubleshooting. Do you have SPDIF signal present at
Juli's input when you try to capture?

Does it lock the moment you open the capture stream (i.e. start the
capturing), or when you switch the rate selector to IEC958-In?


What is your kernel (uname -a)?
