On a related note, I am experiencing a bug regarding SPDIF output as described here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4330 If this could be fixed within this rework, it would be greatly appreciated. > FWIW, the branch was merged to sound-unstable tree, so you can build > from alsa-driver-unstable snapshot tarball if you'd like to build > external modules without the kernel tree and git-merge. > > ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-un > stable-snapshot.tar.gz > > > Also, if anyone has alsa-info.sh outputs of VIA codecs, please let me > know.
