Well, I don't count as a developer, but I do have two cs46xx cards, and am quite pleased with them. I recently temporarily exchanged the one in my main machine, a TerraTec SiXPack 5.1+ (CS4630 + CS4297A + CS4294), for a TerrTec DMX while playing around with some stuff, but it worked fine. Fairly nice sounding card as well... The other cs46xx card, a TerraTec DMX XFire 1024 (CS4624 + CS4294) is still installed in a different machine, and I just tested it with 2.6.15; it's working great. I haven't followed this thread I'm afraid -- what seems to be the problem with the driver? (I do compile with the "new DSP support". without that, you'll not have hardware mixing at least) >> Ok but i'm a developer and i have that card, so i can do something by myself. >> But i need documentation, a lot of documentation (please don't tell me that >> there is only the source code) and a feedback from any author of the driver >> should be very appreciated. > > Your afraid is almost right - there are no better documents available > currently in public than what you can find in alsa's ftp site. I found this one additionally for the CS4630, which isn't on the alsa-project ftp: http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/cs4630.pdf Not close to useful for writing a driver though... > I had a document which was released from cirrus' ftp in a very short > moment (possibly acceidentally).

Here, they've been working well for a long time and, as said, actually sound fairly nice (so note that this driver at least has a fairly active tester).
