Info needed for creative SB 0220 with STAC9758 codec, to get the REAR channels working.

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Just for everyone's information.
I now have all the info I need to get the Rear channel working.
I thank Voluspa for giving me ssh root access so that I could find out 
the details via trial and error.

But the summary is: -
This tells the emu10k1 chip which slots to fill on the AC-LINK between 
the emu10k1 and the stac9758.
snd_emu10k1_ptr_write(emu, AC97SLOT, 0, XXX);

Where XXX is:
/* bit 0 is AC97SLOT_REAR_LEFT
  * bit 1 is AC97SLOT_REAR_RIGHT
  * bit 2 is Unknown, Maybe spdif. Not tested.
  * bit 3 is Unknown, Maybe spdif. Not tested.
  * bit 4 is AC97SLOT_CNTR
  * bit 5 is AC97SLOT_LFE
  */
So, for the stac9758, we would set XXX to  0x33

DSP code: -
OP(icode, &ptr, iACC3, EXTOUT(13)...   <- Rear Left
OP(icode, &ptr, iACC3, EXTOUT(14)...   <- Rear Right

Cheers
James

"You can certainly share that there is a plan to get specs out on the 
Dell Live card and Audigy LS card."

So, hope is not completely lost yet on those cards...

I am rewriting my old attempts at the driver based on the example driver 
documentation, so that I have a simple code to base on. The emu10k1 
driver is very big and complex, and was getting mostly on the way, so I 
decided to start over. I hope to have something close to where I was in 
1 or 2 days. Maybe Creative will make the specs available soon, so it 
can be fully supported.

Cheers,

Francisco
