We use a Wolfson WM9707, which has variable sampling rates of 48k, 44.1k, 
22.05k, 16k, 11.025k & 8k

There is a price schedule on our web site. Prices range from $200 to $125 
ea. A dev kit is $250. http://www.danvillesignal.com

The codec supplies the frame sync. For example, if the I2S interface 
assumes 32 bits for each sample, you can set up a four time slots of 16 
bits each. Timing will be fine.

The Wolfson and TI I mentioned in 2. are examples. You might check out 
Cirrus, Burr-Brown (TI), TI, AKM, ADI and Wolfson for additional 
candidates

Thats why I prefer using the converter in master mode, although I still 
think it takes only a 7474. The frame sync is divided by 4 to create an 
I2S sync and you need to know which edge is the start of the I2S frame 
since the SPORT will not know.

That might be interesting. How much is it? What sample rates are
supported?
Is it WM8731 that you have onboard?

My worries are that since only the RFS is used for frame sync in
multiframe mode, that may cause timing problems between receive and
transmit. Also, you have to set up the SPORT
to 24 or 32 frames, and assert the RFS every two frames. Is it OK?

> 3. Many of the I2S codecs also support DSP interface modes.

That is interesting. Can you suggest one?

I was thinking to convert the protocols completely asynchronously with
the help of EPLD, however it is rather heavy weight solution.

You have several choices:
 
1. You could use an AC'97 codec if 48k sampling is sufficient. Our DSP-
8300 
is based on a ADSP-2186M and uses this approach. (You might just want to 
use this product - check out our web site)

2. You can use an I2S codec that operates as an I2S master. In this case, 
you can configure the SPORT in multichannel mode and emulate an I2S 
interface. This interface is glueless. We use Wolfson WM8731 in this way. 
TI has a very similar part.

3. Many of the I2S codecs also support DSP interface modes.

4. You can use an I2S codec in slave mode but you need additional glue 
logic. I seem to recall that you just need a 7474 (to create the FS) and 
also use an additional port to determine phase. I haven't actually tried 
this method.
