Recording is even worse - I haven't tested but I see many empty functions. There is also space for improvements (e.g. replace modulo and division operators with mask and shifting in simple cases). I think that fixing the driver first (at least playback) is better then port it with fixes rather than porting now then prepare two patches for every fix (for 2.4 and 2.6). I don't know much about ALSA architecture either. But I may try with if time allows. Krzysztof
