AC97 codec odd behaviour (STAC9708/11) / Aureal Card IS SUPPORTED!

[Manuel Jander <manuel.jander@mat.utfsm.cl>]

Hi everyone,

I'm facing some odd things with a Aureal MX300 with a
AC97 codec. For some reason the AC97 interface doesnt
set the EAPD (external amp enable) bit correctly, and i have 
to set it explicitly after calling the ac97  mixer initializer.

Maybe, that the AC97 codec write function actually implemented
for the Aureal cards "misses" some writes, but i just want to be sure
if this bit works for other cards with a STAC9708/11 or similar
codec that need this bit by default, or if i really need to set it
myself ??

I would like to ask once again please to update the ALSA Soundcard
matrix that there is a ALSA driver for all the Aureal cards.
The driver very soon to be posted here can be found at:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openvortex
If you don't want to be anoyed with this again, please update that
compatibility matrix ;)

Thank you very much

Manuel Jander
