of HDA bus. Handle that from two directions:
- Add support for "striping" (using several SDO lines), if supported.
- Account HDA bus utilization and return error on new stream allocation
attempt if remaining bandwidth is unsifficient.
Most of HDA controllers have one SDO line with 46Mbps output bandwidth.
NVIDIA GF210 has 2 lines - 92Mbps. NVIDIA GF520 has 4 lines - 184Mbps!

- Enable and handle unsolicited responses from digital display pins,
reporting connection and EDID-Like Data (ELD) validity status changes.
- Fetch ELD data, describing connected digital display device audio
capabilities. These data not really used at the moment (user is not
denied to use audio formats not supported by the device), only printed to
verbose logs. But they are useful for debugging. The fact that ELD was
received tells that HDMI link was established and video driver enabled
HDMI audio passthrough. Some old chips may not return ELD, so lack of it
is not necessary a problem.
- Add some more points to CODEC configuration sequence:
- For converter widgets, supporting more then two channels (HDMI/DP
converter widgets support 8), set number of channels to handle.
- For digital display pins (HDMI/DP) fill audio infoframe, reporting
connected device about number of channels and speakers allocation.
- For digital display pins (HDMI/DP) set mapping between channels seen
by software and channels transferred via HDMI/DisplayPort.
- Allow more audio formats, not used for analog connections because of
stereo pairs orientation, but easily applicable to HDMI/DisplayPort: 2.1,
3.0, 3.1, 4.1, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0. That list may be filtered later using
info from ELD.
- Disable MSI interrupts for NVIDIA HDA controllers before GT520.
At this point I can successfully play audio over HDMI from NVIDIA GT210
and GT520 cards with nvidia-driver-290.10 driver to Marantz SR4001
receiver in 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 PCM formats at 44, 48,
88 and 96KHz at 16 and 24 bits, same as do AC3/DTS passthrough.
6.0, 6.1, 7.0 and 7.1 PCM formats are not working for me, but I think
it is because of receiver age.

- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.
