Hi all, Sorry for my long absence. Here's a patch against 1.0.8 that should solve the firmware issues people are experiencing. Thomas ChangeLog: * init sequence cleanup and firmware upload related bugfixes * more robust revision detection scheme (should transparently handle new revisions) * allow hdsploader and the kernel fw loader to coexist this is useful for cardbus user who compiled the driver in-kernel (userspace may not be ready to upload the firmware when the card is probed) * removed confusing and obsolete passthru option (was interfering with the mixer when opening the device for capture or playback) this change requires a recompile of the userspace tools against the patched hdsp.h * removed confusing and obsolete line_outs_monitor module param * made precise_ptr the default behaviour, and runtime tweakable (removed corresponding module param) * small endianness fix * ALSA-Configuration.txt HDSP entry update * error messages cleanup
