Request for test of powermac driver

Request for test of powermac driver

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

i've updated snd-powermac driver on cvs.
so far, a G3 desktop (with screamer) was confirmed to work, but the
others are not tested.
thus i'd like to ask you powermac users to update and test the driver,
and give me the feedback whether it works or not.

a new feature of the driver is "automatic muting".
it's supported on awacs/screamer, burgundy and tumbler chips.
when the headphone is plugged/unplugged, then the mute switch is
changed automatically.
this feature is disabled by turning "Auto Mute Switch" control off.

also, screamer driver has now more controls, bass/treble and
amp. master volume, headphone volume/mutes.

the tumber was improved at the last update, supporting bass/treble and
DRC (dynamic-range compression) controls.

Hi,

the version I committed at the last night was wrong, a non-working
one.  I now checked the working version into cvs.
if you get the sources yesterday, please update again.
the latest rcs version of each file is:

	awacs.c: 1.10
	pmac.c: 1.9
	pmac.h: 1.4
	tumbler.c: 1.8
	

thanks,


Takashi

hi,
the driver seems to work on my ibook2 (tumbler). However, I noticed a few odd 
things:

* If I unplug the headphones, the speakers stay muted.
* When muting/unmuting "Auto Mute", the speakers get silent, but don't appear 
as muted in alsamixer. After muting/unmuting "PC Speaker" the speakers work 
again.
* "Headphone Detection" doesn't appear to have any effect.
* "Headphone" doesn't get muted/unmuted automatically (if it's muted and I 
plug in the headphones, it stays muted and the speakers don't get muted - 
maybe this is intended).

I'm not sure if points 2, 3 and 4 are bugs or errors on my side, but point 1 
most certainly is a bug.

Oh, and I had to change line 1353 of alsa-kernel/ppc/pmac.c from

        if (chip->mode <= PMAC_BURGUNDY)

to

        if (chip->model <= PMAC_BURGUNDY)

(rcs version 1.9)

hope this helps,
stefang

p.s:  is there a way to get the built-in microphone on the ibook working?
