44100 kHz format cannot be handled by topology files

[plbossart]

Even when the codec works in master mode and can generate a 44.1kHz frame and associated bit clock, the format for the topology file prevents us from creating pipelines, DAIs and PCM devices working with 44.1 frames per ms.

Example of problematic macros, it's not clear how 48 might be replaced by 44.1...

PIPELINE_PCM_ADD(sof/pipe-volume-playback.m4,
	1, 0, 2, s32le,
	48, 1000, 0, 0)

DAI_ADD(sof/pipe-dai-playback.m4,
	1, SSP, 5, SSP5-Codec,
	PIPELINE_SOURCE_1, 2, s24le,
	48, 1000, 0, 0)

This may have an impact of SOF as well since we assume the number of frames per ms is integer.

@juimonen Could you help to check this issue?

[juimonen]

yeah I will

[mengdonglin]

@juimonen Is this issue fixed or are you blocked?

[juimonen]

this is related to issue 60, which I'm in the middle of finishing. So the idea is to remove the frame count altogether from pipeline definition. I have a branch for this in my personal github account, but I don't won't to do PR yet as it needs much more testing. I have to do now now couple of more urgent things, but will continue with this in 1 or weeks.
