Hello All,

first the background.

I am considering building a semi-DIY DAC based on CM6631A and, say, PCM1794.

I want to buy a ready made USB -> I2S converter board - like, for example, this 
one:  
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/CM6631A-24bit-192khz-USB-to-Coaxial-and-Optical-fiber-SPDIF-and-I2S-by-LJM-New-version/2030271910.html
 and build the DAC proper and analog output part myself.

So my questions are related to CM6631A as USB -> I2S converter and are the 
following:

1) is USB asynchronous mode (i.e. CM6631A board XTALs are used as clock 
generators, and computer is a slave, i.e. audio transfer rate is determined by 
the XTALs) ?
2) MCLK of I2S can be various multiples of sample rate - is this supported ? 
According to what I found on the web Windows driver supports this feature;
3) CM6631A has embedded 8051 controller, so can new CM6631A firmware be loaded 
into the board memory under Linux ? CMedia provides such a utility for Windows.

Can anybody provide output of

amixer scontrols

for a CM6631A based card ?

Thanks,
  Sergei.
