I tried 2.6.28... where recording was, but it does not support
regmap. Then I tried 3.14, but could not get recording to work there.

Ok, tried that, but no change.

Yes, with the patch below (and dts updates I did) recording works.

Another interesting note is that audio quality is not that horrible
when playing 8 kHz, mono signal... it is mostly what I'd
expect. Playing 44.1kHz, stereo mp3 .. is not good.
