HIFACE family driver

HIFACE family driver

[Michael Trimarchi]

Hi all,

I have written in my spare time an alsa driver for HIFACE devices family. Now I'm not an alsa expert and I would like to know if you think that it's useful to include it in mainline

https://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio

The list of usb devices supported

https://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio/blob/master/chip.c

The main difference is that I need to use bulk message to talk to the usb dongle and ofcourse there are a lot of improvement that we can do on it. I have already tested on several kernel version and it's already included in some linux distribution. Wait for some feedback ;)

Michael,

Your driver has been discussed briefly on list already:

Ok, so the idea is to send patches on the mailing list. I can send one hiface for free if someone want help me on the submission. Sounds good?

We've already seen this - very cool!

More than welcome :) You should submit your current version of the code
in digestable pieces. Maybe the basic driver structure first, and then
put individual features into additional patches if possible. That way,
things can be reviewed in-line on the mailing list.


Thanks,
Daniel

Sorry if I'm late, but I'm very busy. I will try to sort out by the end of the week.
