Intervideo patches

Intervideo patches

[Lee Revell]

Has anyone familiar with HDA intel stuff had a chance to look at this
patch from Intervideo, from bug #2035?

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/file_download.php?file_id=1307&type=bug

It's old (against 1.0.9b) and huge (30K lines of patch) but allegedly it
gets sound working on many HDA intel codecs that currently don't work.

(It's really unfortunate that these vendors fork ALSA every time
something does not work, rather than posting patches...)

Don't ask me, as I have no time to work on this at all.

The changes in hda_codec.c is too ugly to merge, but the changes in
patch_realtek.c is almost systematic and realtively easy to port.

Heh, I figured this might be the case ;-)

Maybe I'll get a chance to work on it.  I have no such hardware though,
and the patch does not say what the changes do...

Thanks, that'll be really helpful.

I see that many stuff has been already included in the latest code.
So you should start from a certain codec model with communicative
testers.

OK, the football fever is over and the busy conference week is over,
too, and now I finally managed to port missing pieces there.  Most of
stuff had been already in HG version, so just one Arima model was
missing.

There are some cosmetic differences between that and HG version, but
it should be no harm.

The hunk in hda_codec.c shouldn't be ported.  According to Realtek
guys, it's just for intervideo, and no generic need.

I also added the model type string for every model.  If someone has a
device that still doesn't work and some new models are found for its
codec chip (ALCxxx), give it a try.
