Yes indeed. I even treated myself to a handful of candies from the
corner vendor :)

Thanks, I'll add this to my arsenal of tricks although your next question was
insightful.

I had to doctor up another commercial product and feed its known good I2S signal
into the FM stage and the bad audio was still there. Doesn't rule out
a problem with the Marvell yet, but fingers are crossed.

This has been a good learning experience but I can see this is only
just scratching the surface so far. Thanks for sharing some insights
and cool tricks,
they really helped with the understanding as well as the troubleshooting.

Rory
