------------------
From: Roman Prucha <redacted>
commit b26a7a80e6bbf8dd17dacb127d12435d79375cf2 upstream.
dao_rsc_init() encodes the DAIO configuration as
conf = (desc->msr & 0x7) | (desc->passthru << 3);
S/PDIF passthrough uses msr=1 and passthru=1, resulting in
conf=9.
daio_mgr_dao_init() masks conf with 0xf, but handles only values
1, 2, 4 and 8 when programming ATXCTL_NUC. As a result, conf=9
falls through to the default case and leaves NUC at its previous
setting.
On a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD SB1270 (CA20K2), this breaks AC3
IEC61937 passthrough when snd_ctxfi runs with
reference_rate=48000,multiple=2. The receiver detects a non-audio
stream but cannot decode the AC3 payload.
With the unmodified driver, multiple=1 makes the same stream work.
Handle conf=9 through the same NUC=0 path as conf=1.
The change was runtime tested on the SB1270 with multiple=2 using
IEC958 stereo PCM, pre-encoded AC3 IEC61937 passthrough and ALSA
A52 live 5.1 encoding.
