Hi,

right now i committed the patches to change the handling of joystick.
instead of controlling the joystick via control API, the "joystick" or
"joystick_port" module options are added.  yes, it is what we did in
ALSA 0.5.x series.  it's back again.

this change is because configuring the joystick is a potential cause
of system freeze due to the resource confliction.  (also, it's even
easier to configure :)

i wrote a brief note about the joystick support.  you can find it
alsa-kernel/Documentation/Joystick.txt.

if you have a card with the joystick support and you have a joystick,
please test the new code.  (well, anon.cvs will be synced in 24h.)


Takashi
