Quoth Luigi Rizzo on Thu, 24 July:

: 2. always use 16-bit for record, 8-bit for play;

Definitely.  (Recording can be replayed a thousand times,
but play only happens once.  The more permanent product
should get the benefit of quality.)

: 4. define a new ioctl to chose which channel gets the 16-bit dma and
:    which one gets the 8-bit dma, with some default camong those
:    described before.

This is 2 with sprinkles, and sprinkles are nice, if you can
afford the extra dime.
