At the moment it would be used by ASoC spdif codec yes (and with Amlogic
eARC support reasonnably soon, hopefully) 

However it is likely to be a common rate of any derivative of an IEC958
interface, with a sufficiently high bandwidth. I suspect there might be
more of those in the future. Also, it is not an exotic rate for some obscure
codec no one really has. It is part of specified interface that every TV
with HDMI 2 is likely to have nowadays. This is why I thought it made
sense to add it to the usual list. It is the only rate missing,
everything else is already there.

Changing the spdif codecs with SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT and a custom rate
list is doable I suppose, if the new ID is not OK. 

BTW, I tried not changing the existing numbers and add 128k last but that
broke. I guess something requires the IDs to be ordered. I did not check
this further since updating the IDs worked fine (for me, at least :) )

Apart from the problem reported in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c, is there
another clean up expected ?
