I havn't tried so far, but did now. It has been 'off' all the time, but 
setting it to 'on' makes no difference.

Yeah, that's getting closer I guess. When I undo that commit, then it's 
possible to capture with the external rate!

*But*... I'm afraid it's still clocked from internal. Because it's not 
capturing cleanly. It's got glitches sometimes (without having xruns).

How strange.. but there's probably a reason for rate locking on spdif 
clock..

I'm not sure, is it 'Codec' in ice1712 that's 'PCI60: System 
Configuration Register' in the datasheet? From that the clock source 
would be '00: XIN2: 22.5792MHz crystal (44.1kHz*512)'.

Here's my ice1712:

-------------------------------------------

With "Multi Track Internal Clock" on "IEC958 Input" the content of 
ice1712 has not changed at all, no matter what ("Default") rate I select 
or rate I capture. Also before and after reverting the patch it's the 
same content.

When I change "Multi Track Internal Clock" to some specific rate then 
(only) RATE and GPIO_DATA change. E.g.:

44100:
   RATE             : 0x08
   GPIO_DATA        : 0x52

48000:
   RATE             : 0x00
   GPIO_DATA        : 0x52

96000:
   RATE             : 0x07
   GPIO_DATA        : 0x53

For some reason GPIO_DATA will now stay on 0x53 when I switch to "IEC958 
Input" (before it was fixed on 0x5a).

I'm working on it...
