I have done some bug reporting and tested some fixes (thanks go to Takashi) in the past, but then fell out of sync on kernel versions because of other kernel-related issues on my hardware (now finally resolved). I would like to test the latest code, in order for this testing to be most useful. But I really got lost in what is that newest code that I should test, and in how I should get it to run. So I have some questions: - Which alsa code version is in the 2.6.10 kernel release? (include/sound/version.h says 1.0.6, but there seem to be changelog entries and factual changes even from 2.6.10-rc3...) - Which alsa kernel code should I run for testing? The 2.6.10-kernel version? 1.0.8rc2? CVS? 1.0.8rc2 plus some files from CVS [those related to i8x0]? - Is it OK to compile this kernel code by merely copying the relevant directories (sound [except for sound/oss] and include/sound) from the alsa tree into the kernel tree? I run an RPM-based system, and would like to keep the existing approach to kernel building (full RPM rebuild) alive; it's slow but reliable. - Which alsa-lib and alsa-utils code should I be running? (I know how to compile it using RPM, I just need to understand the version). And an i8x0-specific question: in the above-mentioned current code, should output to hw:0,0 go only to analog, or to both analog and spdif? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
