Hi all sound testers (thanks again)
This is work-in-progress so these are convenience patches, rather than any
awesome finale :-) (or should one say coda :-?)
I am, however, determined to make linuxppc sound at *least* as good as it is
under MacOS!!!
Patches for latest source trees at
http://www.drfruitcake.com/linux/linuxppc.html
This is the common 2.4.0/back-port codebase. I haven't done a specific
2.4.0-test5 patch yet (but it's gonna be real close to the one there - and
the conditionals shouldn't hurt 2.4.0 - so...)
==========
Latest changes (both):
o added in the detection of screamers (thanks Ben) solves some pismo
problems
o a little extra information on which type of chip it thinks it has is put
into the status output
2.2.17pre15ben1:
o drivers/sound/Makefile is updated with Geert's patch to correct
module_install stuff
===== my results so far.
2.2.17pre15 looks OK (same behaviour still )
2.4.0-test5
This is much more flaky **with identical code** there is no crashing (yet)
- but a strong tendency for almost any activity to cut off the sound.
opening the mixer control is a really good way of doing it. Once the panel
is open you can restart the sound and all is hunky-dory... but...
I guess I'm a little suspicious of the new wait-queue stuff (that's really
the only major change to the sound side).
Happy testing,
Iain
BTW sorry, no binaries posted - I haven't done enough of my own testing yet.
