Although it wouldn't have helped with this driver, could you review the currently 35 open ALSA bugs in the kernel Bugzilla [1]? - Some might first require a question to the submitter whether the problem is still present in recent kernels. - Some might be problems in other parts of the kernel (e.g. ACPI interrupt configuration problems). - But some bugs might be bugs still present in recent ALSA. The Gentoo people are using a pretty easy and nice way for forwarding their bugs to the kernel Bugzilla, that would work the following way for forwarding Bugs from the kernel Bugzilla to the ALSA BTS: - open a new bug in the ALSA BTS: - short description of the issue - more information is at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id345 - add a comment to the kernel Bugzilla (but leave the bug open): this bug is now handled at the ALSA BTS at https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id#456 You could also do this the other way round if e.g. a ACPI interrupt configuration problem was reported to the ALSA BTS. > Thanks, > Jaroslav cu Adrian [1] http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
