Yeah, the intel_hda system is pretty funky. My understanding is that |
| 15 |
the API is essentially a programmable plugboard connecting the various |

DSPs on the chip, and that the "codec" is a mapping of which pins |
| 17 |
connect to which. |

| 20 |
that interface more intuitively to the user. |
