I got the BeagleBone today, it's a nice little board. Well I'll cut to the chase, I plugged in the HRT Music StreamerII async, 24 bit UAC1, no hub. It works perfectly straight out of the box. No software tweaking at all, it plays perfectly, NO clicks, pops or any other problems. Looking at the stream file it shows it running in ASYNC mode S24_3LE and the momentary frequency DOES change. This seems to bode well for the hardware.
Next I'll try a XMOS based device, that is going to take a little bit more work to get setup (it's part of a DAC which is currently disassembled, I have to put it back together again before I can try it out). I just plugged in the XMOS board and it seems to be working (until I get it connected back to the rest of the DAC I can't get any sound out of it). It shows it running in ASYNC with S32_LE and momentary freq is changing. Again it seems to bode well. These were both at 44.1, it takes SOOOO long to transfer files to the SD card I haven't transfered over any 96 or 192 files. It does have sox so I can probably use FLAC to save some transfer time. Of course I need to get my music library mounted over the network, then I don't have to write them to the SD card. I think that's all that is going to get done for tonight, I'll get the XMOS hooked up tomorrow and make sure it is actually playing music. On another matter, the BeagleBone does have the I2S lines available on its expansion connector. It turns out that the distro it comes with has all it's module drivers available in /sys so parameters can be set. I found the driver for the audio interface (that handles both I2S and S/PDIF) in /sys, but there is no documentation on this and the node names were not exactly obvious. So it looks like it might be possible to configure the driver to send out I2s. I'm going to have to find the source for this driver in order find out what to put in the /sys nodes. So it might actually be possible to configure this to output I2S by just writing values to a /sys file.
