From a1667e4eea0a7085815d1532d7630bb4611271d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:22:28 +0800 Subject: ALSA: hda - allow multi-channel HDMI audio playback when ELD is not present The YAMAHA AV-X1800 requires audio infoframe to include speaker-channel mapping to play >2 channel HDMI audio. In theory that mapping should be derived from its speaker configurations contained in its ELD. However we currently cannot get ELD in console before the KMS functionalities are ready. This is a more or less general issue at least in the near future. As a workaround, we propose to allow playback of mult-channel audio when ELD is not available.
