Finally, so far I know the Santa Cruz is yet another card where we dont
have technical specifications. It's possible that there is any GPIO or
whatever kind of logic that controls "something" that makes the sound
better.
Not having a Santa Cruz card dont make things easier ... I had one I
would start testing all the EGPIO's by the hard way seing what happens,
(maybe
someone that have time and such a card can do this ?) In the current
cs46xx driver there is some debug code to control the EGPIO's from the
ALSA mixer that can be activated by defining
CONFIG_SND_CS46XX_DEBUG_GPIO in cs46xx_lib.c, that I've been using to
test EGPIO functionality on
the Game Theater XP card.
It's possible that the current ALSA driver needs to be optimized. When a
new PCM channel is opened first time the driver needs to do a lot a
things. Sure that the you got a small and short peak when audio
playback starts. Can you can meusure if it's System time, User time ?
The "external_amp" parameter is specified when module is loaded, eg. on
a line in /etc/module.conf:
option snd-cs46xx external_amp=1
