And by doing so create an obtuse API.  No thanks.

Because I was not aware of them.

Correct - however not strange, if you've read the HDMI specification.

Correct, but the driver has no way to know this.  The above reflects how
the NXP driver on the Cubox implements this (which we know works for
multiple different sample rates).  This is because we use SPDIF, which
encodes the sample rate in the channel status information, which is then
presumably passed through by the TDA998x.  I wouldn't know, I don't have
a HDMI debugger.

What I do know is that it works for multiple sample rates.
