Gene, if you read the discussion regarding OSS, Adrian plans simply to remove
drivers which have solid, known working replacements for all PCI ids in an
equivalent ALSA driver.

I didn't see it here, but SOUND_AD1889 can definitely be removed
as well. The driver never worked properly to begin with. This was
ACK'd by the author last time this thread reared it's head.

ALSA bugs [1] #1301 and #1302 are still open.
If they are resolved, SOUND_AD1889 will part of the next batch of OSS
driver removal a few months from now.

Am I doing something wrong? Those look to be AD1816 bugs, not AD1889.
AD1816 is an ISA sound card. AD1889 is a PCI sound card only found on
PA-RISC workstations.

Sorry, my bad.
The ad1889 ALSA driver was not present before 2.6.14 and therefore not
on my original list.
Below is an updated patch that also schedules SOUND_AD1889 for removal.

Adrian
<-- snip -->
This patch schedules obsolete OSS drivers (with ALSA drivers that
support the
same hardware) for removal.
Scheduling the via82cxxx driver for removal was ACK'ed by Jeff Garzik.

I would prefer if the ICH driver be kept. It works just fine on near
all my systems and has a much smaller binary size than the ALSA
variant. Moving to ALSA would bloat the kernels considerably.

The general decision for the OSS -> ALSA move was long ago.
If you have a real issue with the ALSA driver please submit a proper
bug report to the ALSA bug tracking system and tell me the bug number.

If you compare the complete size of ALSA+driver vs OSS+driver then
OSS wins easily on the bloat department.

Avoiding bloat is a real issue.

If this is your problem then you should have vetoed the inclusion of
ALSA into the kernel.

OK, what is your plan to make ALSA non-bloated?
E.g. it's clear that unused code or unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's in the kernel
are bloat, so I am working on eliminating such bloat.
If you consider ALSA too bloated you should help on solving this issue
instead of insisting on keeping OSS.

The emu10k1 ALSA driver is considerably smaller than the OSS driver and
has more features, like most ALSA drivers. If the ICH driver is really
smaller I suspect it's missing some functionality.

The biggest part is the PCM middle layer. It's bold.
It's one of my TODO list to diet this one, especially for small
systems.
The amount of ac97 codec support code may be easily reduced, too, by
selecting codec chips to support. It's not a generic solution for
distributions but good for private built kernels.

And thank you very much for that!
What's most notable to me is a substantial cross-arch reduction in .data
space consumed. This non-FUSE-2.6.13 versus FUSE-2.6.14 UltraSPARC
comparison shows this effect clearly:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3460304 Oct 13 00:55 vmlinux-2.6.13.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3190448 Oct 29 17:18 vmlinux-2.6.14

On a similarly-configured Athlon the difference in .data is a little
less pronounced, but still there.
UltraSPARC 2.6.13.4 versus 2.6.14 at boot:
Memory: 511576k available (2280k kernel code, 936k data, 128k init) [fffff80000000000,0000000037ebc000]
Memory: 511848k available (2288k kernel code, 672k data, 112k init) [fffff80000000000,0000000037ebc000]
(that's 264K, the same as the .data size difference above)
Athlon 2.6.13.4 versus 2.6.14 at book:
Memory: 774828k/786432k available (2794k kernel code, 11156k reserved, 1022k data, 148k init, 0k highmem)
Memory: 774996k/786432k available (2833k kernel code, 10988k reserved, 808k data, 152k init, 0k highmem)
(that's 214K different in .data although kernel code has grown a little
here, probably thanks to FUSE).
Most OSes cannot claim to shrink across upgrades. Linux, at least the
kernel, can. :)

Um. Yes. Of course.

I think these bug reports can be disregarded. The submitter never
responded to requests to retest with the latest ALSA version. #1302 is
almost certainly a bug in kphone anyway.

If these bugs will be marked as resolved/closed when I'll send the next
batch of OSS driver removals a few months from now, SOUND_AD1816 will be
part of this batch.
