Ok, so so it seems the Pine64 pcie works, and the Delock 4 channel works only with mainline. So switched to the mainline kernel and because of my 64GB eMMC had to use the kernel patch. I find that the mainline gives me dropouts when streaming (even with mainline on the pine64 pcie and my WD Red)... So I switched back to ayufan's 4.4 kernel version of stretch: that works ok, but I would like to use 4 channels!
So I switched again to the armbian image: it feels faster,but also can not get de the Delock pcie working on the 4.4 kernel. But when I install the 4.20 one I can not boot with eMMC,but also not with SD?? So I can not check whether this one will lead to dropouts as well..
Anyone here tried the armbian 5.75 stretch images? Is there also a kernel patch necessary for the eMMC and maybe already available in the distributed kernels? And any idea why even SD boot wil not work?
Edit: Unfortunately the armbian 4.20 kernel does not contain dtb entries for pwm it seems, so I am back on the ayufan image
. The "mmc_cmdqueue=off" kernel append seems to be the reason the SD does not start. I only need to add it when booting from the emmc.
The mainline kernel 5 seems to solve my streaming error. Will do some further testing and will retry my Delock pcie as well...
Edit2: Kernel 4.20 indeed made the stream crawl. Sticking to 5 for now. Also working with the Delock pcie. Seems stable enough. Booting from SD for now as not sure what the effect off the mmc_cmdqueue off exactly entails...
