SoundWire For Linux Preps Support For Multiple Masters
![MULTIMEDIA](/assets/categories/multimedia.webp)
The primary addition to SoundWire for the upcoming Linux 4.19 kernel cycle is the introduction of multi-link streaming. Up to now the Linux SoundWire code has just supported a single "master" and one or more "slaves" (codecs). With Linux 4.19, there is support for having multiple masters that share the same reference clock and synchronized in the hardware.
This multi-link support can be used for cases like left and right audio channels being rendered by different masters or other multiple audio channel scenarios.
This is among other work as part of this pull request for SoundWire in the kernel's staging area.
