DMA transfer only supports PCML (slot3) and PCMR (slot4) at the same time. Sound data must
be prepared as stereo sound data. Only PCML (slot3) register is used for stereo data transfer with
automatic register switching.

AC97 RX Controller
This module, as shown in Fig14-5, contains several RX FIFOs, a SLOTREQ register, a 20-bit
buffer, a serial-to-parallel shift register and an inferred control circuit. Each RX FIFO has 4 20-bit
entries and is divided into two blocks. The operation mechanism is analogous to CSxx RX
controller.
DMA transfer only supports PCML (slot3) and PCMR (slot4) at the same time. Sound data will be
saved as stereo sound data. Only PCML (slot3) register is used for stereo data transfer with
automatic register switching.

Miscellaneous Function Block
This module controls many miscellaneous signals, including output pad enable, input pad enable,
serial SYNC, power down signal and reset signal.
