The Rockchip I2S controller only allows to configure even numbers of
capture channels. It is still possible to capture monophonic audio by
using dual-channel mode and ignoring the 'data' from the second
channel.

Due to different issues in our audio recording path I couldn't test
this properly, and only looked at the .wav data in audacity, which
appeared to look ok. After putting some of the missing pieces
together and I noticed that mono capture doesn't work as intended,
the recorded audio is slowed down. I think this is because the I2S
controller keeps generating a two-channel stream, however the sound
system interprets it as a monophonic stream because of the channel
configuration.

Not sure if there is a clean solution for this if we can't tell the
hardware to generate a single-channel stream. Any suggestions or do
we have to revert the patch?

Sorry about the mess :(

That seems odd - I'd expect underruns somewhere?

It sounds like a very standard problem with I2S devices, it's a
fundamentally stereo format after all.  If you can't get it to discard
the second channel there's probably not much doing.
