    Phoronix: SoundWire Multi-Lane Support Submitted For Linux 6.14

    All of the MIPI SoundWire related updates have been submitted for the in-development Linux 6.14 kernel. SoundWire as a reminder is the standard interface for modern, small audio peripherals...

    SoundWire multi-lane devices can use up to eight data lanes but most SoundWire devices are just one-lane / two-pin designs
    Are end-users able to utilize this in any way to optimize their existing audio devices?

      What's the difference between a "small audio peripheral" and a non-small one?

        Sorry for the dumb question, but what's the difference between this and Piperwire?

          Pipewire is API and middleware between ALSA driver and application. Soundwire means hardware lanes on board which interconnect audio chip with other chips. Less lanes less wires = more space and smaller devices.

            Any hardware examples that implement this standard?
