ca0106 with MIDI

[Tilman Kranz]

Hello.

with regards to the "ca0106" driver for the Creative Audigy LS I would 
like to ask if there are activities to make the "Creative External MIDI" 
(MS W* nomenclatura) resp. the "Creative Labs SB Audigy LS MIDI/Game 
port" (Linux PCI name Db. nomenclatura) available.

I have a MIDI In/Out connection attached. I currently am performing a 
variety of tests  using win+sequencer software. 

Specifically:

I run with Linux Kernel 2.6.12.3. I also have access to CVS alsa-kernel.

I appear to have the "SB0312" model of the Audigy LS. Thus, the rest of 
this mail is the output of lspci, first -v without -n to document the 
model name I have, afterwards with -vn as requested on the blacklist.

Greetings,
Tilman.

MIDI is not currently supported on the ca0106.
I have no way to test it, so I did not try to add MIDI support.
The implementation should be fairly easy, as I think it uses the same or 
similar driver code as the snd-emu10k1x driver uses.
