All I was asking is whether we can (easily) check this property is set 
to i2s the day we want to implement support for S/PDIF :) If that's the 
case, then I don't think we necessarily need to check it right now, but 
a -EINVAL would be fine too, up to you.

That's fine, just wanted to know if a "backward-compatible" 
implementation for S/PDIF would be possible in the future would we want 
to support it :)
