Again: Alsa Driver Scarlett

Again: Alsa Driver Scarlett

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

 this is relating to my post from September: There doesn't seem to be
any progress concerning the integration of the Scarlett alsa-driver
patch into Alsa.

Can someone on the list tell me how to invoke a process to get it
integrated?

The patch sources are here:

https://github.com/smilingthax/alsa-driver_scarlett

At the moment most of our students regularly have to reapply the patch
as soon as they upgrade their systems and it's pretty time consuming
and painful for the studio technicians and me to guide them through
the process of patching kernel modules, so it would be great to
simplify this process by integrating it into the official alsa
distribution. I can confirm that the patch still works well on our
systems.

The patch still works on our recent kernels (we are on debian testing
with a 3.14-2 kernel), atm there is no porting necessary. I can also
confirm that the driver has no known issues on our systems (we use a
couple of Scarlett 18i20 in different configurations). It would be
great, though if the patch could get integrated into alsa. At the
moment it is quite painful for our students with linux laptops as they
have to reapply the patch on every upgrade.

You'd need a time machine: <http://git.kernel.org/linus/76b188c4b370>.

This will be part of the 3.19 kernel.
