Summary:                    Realtek 861 card not functional using included alsa
drivers
Description: 
I am using the FC5 drivers to begin with.  The packages are labeled version
1.0.11rc2.  There are only a few options when I run alsamixer. Using the
stock drivers, I have these options:

Headphone switch
CD level
Mic level
Input Source switch(Mic/CD)

I compiled the 1.0.11rc5 drivers from source and rebooted. I now have
these channels when I run alsamixer:

Front switch
CD level
Mic level
Input Source switch(Mic/CD)

I tried compiling the 1.0.9 drivers from Realtek's website(said nothing
about the 861), but they did not build.  In fact, the install script
overwrote my asound libraries requiring a package replacement to get back
to a sane state.

Please let me know if there is something more I can provide.

I have contacted someone with Intervideo OEM sales dept. She is going to
try and get me in contact with someone in their engineering department. 
If there is any problem with that, I have the main contact for their legal
department. Seeing as how these drivers are released under the gpl, they
are legally obligated to provide source code for their modifications.

It looks like you can download the source on their page, but it does not
look up-to-date. Look here:
