Audio driver for OMAP 730 based board - hpw to migrate from OSS to ALSA

Audio driver for OMAP 730 based board - hpw to migrate from OSS to ALSA

[Pharaoh .]

Hi
I am new here and have slight idea about the Linux audio drivers.
I am working on OMAP 730 based p2-sample board. AFAIK, there is no audio
driver support for this board. I have found
2.4 drivers for the same board which I have ported to 2.6, but it is an OSS
driver.

So, the questions:

1. Has anyone written audio drivers for the above mentioned board? Any plans
to make them open source? Any pointers will be useful regarding the same.

2. How should I go about migrating the OSS driver to ALSA, if something like
this is necessary?

3. Any resources which will be helpful for writing ALSA drivers?


Thanks & regards,
Pharaoh.

After seeing the sources I gathered that there is no support for these
OMAPs, but generic audio handling drivers for OMAPs are available. Any
idea or pointers regarding how to get started will be
helpful.

Regards,
Pharaoh.
