How are you getting audio data into and out of the FPGA?  Nearly every ADC
and DAC chip uses I2S as the transfer protocol, unless it is a large
multichannel chip, in which case it probably uses TDM, which is just the 4
or 8 or 16 channel version of I2S.  Very odd that you could be working on
audio hardware and not come across I2S.

You either use multiple I2S connections, or you use a mode which supports
multiple channels.
I think the multichannel configuration is in the Sitara processor (BBB)
documentation as McASP or something similar.   Look in the ALSA tree in
the SoC drivers to see if there is a driver for Am335x or Sitara.  Might
only be two channel, I haven't had a chance to check yet.
