Your table is close to the one in the TDA9983B documentation I have,
but the pins are not exactly the same:

AP0 		WS (word select)
AP1 		I2S-bus port 0
AP2 		I2S-bus port 1
AP3 		I2S-bus port 2
AP4 		I2S-bus port 3
AP5		MCLK (master clock for S/PDIF)
AP6		S/PDIF input
AP7		AUX (internal test)
ACLK 		SCK (I2S-bus clock)

That's why I did not know clearly why I had to set AP2 for S/PDIF input
and (AP0 + AP1) for I2S input in the Cubox.

Then, the only more explanation I could give is "have a look at the
audio input format and at the register 0x1e page 0 in the documentation
of the TDA998x chip".

BTW, the tda998x driver supports only the TDA9989, TDA19988 and
TDA19989 chips. If the TDA9983B would be supported, the audio port
definitions would be of no use.

So, what would you see as an explanation?
