Terratec DMX 6fire audio input

Terratec DMX 6fire audio input

Hello developers.

Here is a patch which enables to do audio input on this particular card
even when not doing a soft reboot from windows. The problem with the
current driver is that the PCA9554 is set to input mode for all IO pins
after a cold reset. In order to set the pins to output mode register 3
of this chip has to be set.

As I don't know if there are any pins used as input I have set register
3 to 0x80, so the MSB is input. Hopefully my patch won't do any damage!
Maybe someone can check the content of this register after a warm reboot
from windows. I have a linux only machine.

Keep on the good work.

bye,
Eduard.

PS: Sorry if this email arrives twice, it didn't seem to come through
the first time.

thanks for the patch!
Jaroslav alreay applied it to cvs.

IIRC, the connection to PCA9554 are all output (bit 0-6), so your
patch should be ok.
