Well, you'll find that the BBB documentation is... confusing...

GPIO1_27 enable the 24.576MHz clock used on McASP (multichannel audio
serial port). This clock is connected back to GPIO3_21 (McASP clock
input). It can be disabled to allow the use of GPIO3_21, to reduce the
power drain or to allow an external McASP clock.

GPIO0_19 enable the 12MHz clock which is actually used by TDA19988.

I hope it make sense.

/me looking forward for the HDMI support (and then, audio ?!? :)
