if you build the modules from alsa-driver (i.e. not on 2.5 kernel),
then CONFIG_SND_CS46XX is set in the configure script.  as default,
all card modules are compiled, or selectable via --with-cards option.

but the CONFIG_SND_CS46XX_NEW_DSP variable is not set in configure
script.  you have to modify it in alsa-driver/pci/cs46xx/Makefile.
you'll see the two lines which are currently commented out.
if this is extremely annoying, i will enable it as default, but i
don't think it's too much job :)

abound snd_printd() and snd_printdd().
the former is activated when --with-debug=full option is given to the
configure script.  and the latter is on when --with-debug=detect.
the latter option enables all debug information.

perhaps X-Fire has also some gpio's.  i'll try to contact with
TerraTec about this info.


Terratec X-Fire:
dsp: cs4630
primary codec:  CS4294 rev 5
secondary codec:  not sure.. the driver shows 'not present'
     i will take a look at the card later

ok.  will be fixed soon.
