Yes.  The apps usually sends the raw data as S16_LE to the driver.
In addition, we have status bits controls.  These are stored into a
control element, and thus independently handled from the raw data.

With SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_IEC958_SUBFRAME format, both the raw and the
status bits are composed together.  But, which format is supported
depends purely on the driver.
