Linux 2.4.X kernel patches?

Linux 2.4.X kernel patches?

[Jordan Breeding]

Hello,

  Now that alsa is merged in Linux 2.5.x is there any chance that
patches to add ALSA directly into a Linux 2.4.x kernel will be revived.
For quite some time now the patches in
ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches have been 2.5.x only.  I
understand that 2.5.x is the development kernel but having the option of
building the latest ALSA drivers directly into a 2.4.x kernel would be
very nice as well.  Thanks for any information.

Jordan

i've written (a bit old) 2.4 patches, found at
	ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/alsa-2.4-patches

please note that the patch is for suse-modified kernel, so there might
be conflicts with the vanilla kernel (perhaps Configure.help, which
can be ignored or repaired easily.)

since the kernel tree structure was changed on 2.5, the patch is
completely different from 2.5 patch.
my patch will place alsa drivers under linux/drivers/sound/alsa,
while 2.5 tree has the integrated sound directory linux/sound.

i'll update this patch set later in this week again.
