snd-azx into the kernel

snd-azx into the kernel

[Alejandro Bonilla]

Hi,

	I understand this is a Development list only, but I have a question
that could be related to development/policy.

Is there a way to add the snd-azx driver into the kernels? I would
really love to see if you could add it, as I think some new hardware
require it and would be nice to have it in the kernel already.

Thanks for the time.

The ALSA code in the vanilla kernel is often delayed from the latest
status of ALSA tree, sometimes for monthes.
So, the driver which is being developed and modified isn't suitable to
push to the kernel.  Otherwise you'll get only buggy and totally
obsolete code there.  That's the very reason why we keep it in
alsa-driver tree locally.  When you need the driver, you can compile
alsa-driver by yourself.

Anyway, the azx code will be moved to alsa-kernel tree in this or next
month (I hope).
