Re: msp3400 problem in linux-3.7.0

[Benjamin Schindler <beschindler@gmail.com>]

Hi

I think I've just been really stupid. I tried latest git, but got not 
sound. I then checked my volumes again and noticed, that the rear-mic 
channel was muted. I didn't have that channel in 3.2 (just had mic) so I 
didn't notice...

So may be sound wasn't broken after all in vanilla. Would it be of any 
interest if I were to check?

Regards
Benjamin
