Indeed, for S/PDIF on A64 CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_SPDIF is needed.

However AFAICS debian ships no sun50i-a64 devicetrees where S/PDIF is
enabled. You would need a custom DT or an overlay, to make the
debian kernel actually load the module.

BTW there have been two uploads of linux 5.0 to experimental since this
bug was opened. Would be nice if somebody could address this for the
next upload.

Would this enable also the S/PDIF or is something else needed 
(CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_SPDIF maybe?)?

According to 
https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix
the S/PDIF is available already in 4.17, so it would be nice to activate 
it also for the stable kernel.

Thanks for considering,
Andrei

Bug#921019: arm64: Please provide sound modules for Allwinner A64 based systems

2019-01-31 Thread Harald Geyer
Package: linux-image-arm64
Version: 4.18+100
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please enable the following Kconfig symbols as modules:

CONFIG_SND_SUN50I_CODEC_ANALOG
CONFIG_SND_SUN8I_CODEC
CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_I2S
CONFIG_SND_SOC_SIMPLE_AMPLIFIER
CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_CARD

These are necessary for sound support on pinebook, Olimex TERES-I, etc.
The drivers are available upstream since 4.20.
Pinebook has sound enabled in devicetree starting with 5.0

I'm currently working on enabling sound for TERES-I ...

Also while looking into this I noticed the following quite general
drivers, that might be reasonable to enable too:

CONFIG_SND_SIMPLE_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_CARD
CONFIG_SND_AUDIO_GRAPH_SCU_CARD
CONFIG_SND_XEN_FRONTEND

However I'm not aware of anybody using them on arm64, so enabling them
is strictly optional.

TIA,
Harald
