I wouldn't mind porting VSA2 support to ALSA. I just don't have test
hardware. Do you happen to know any examples of hardware that run VSA2
firmware or is it just a case of a firmware update?

Anything from the natsemi era onwards ought to be VSA2

VSA2 is mainly used to support the GX and LX processors, and the 
CS5535 and CS5536 southbridges.  The southbridges both have 
native AC97 controllers, supported by the snd-cs5535 driver
in the kernel and maintained by Jaya Kumar.

These just work, straight out of the box.

And as an aside, the VSA2 source code is open, so you can peruse
it and discover its secrets for yourself:

Interesting. I shall have to compare that with the CS5510/20 VSA1 tree I
have here (which isn't under LGPL)

Not to get any further off topic - but we're still soliciting volunteers
to help port the VSA2 code so that it will build with OSS tools.  If you're
interested, don't hesitate to dive in.  :)  Patches always gladly accepted.

Hi Rafał,
It seems that you're already using irq 9 for another device, and as Alan says
the cs5530 audio device doesn't seem to do irq sharing. It seems to me that you
need to go into your BIOS settings at startup and tell the device to use an irq
line that's not already in use by some other device. Can you please let me know
if this works?

The ALSA CS5530 driver is one that I ported from Alan's OSS Kahlua driver, so
there may be some things that I've missed. If the above advice doesn't work,
please confirm whether or not the device is functioning correctly in your
current set up with Alan's original OSS driver.

Thanks,

Ash

Sorry, I should mention earlier that this is Wyse 3360SE. I don't know how to 
enter BIOS (if there is any).

I will give up. I didn't checked code earlier. This driver is using SMM. Probably  
firmware isn't what it should be, or I have overwritten it when I was flashing 
Linux. I see in datasheet that it isn't possible to write driver in other way. 
Sadly sound card is generating SMI only.

The 5530 in native mode only generates SMI. I've always felt however that
if you make the buffers big enough you ought to be able to drive it off
the 1KHz timer tick by polling. Interesting project.

You btw won't have removed the SMM firmware or the box wouldn't boot. The
5530 uses SMM to emulate some of the most basic PC components including
the VGA video. If your box has VSA2 then VSA2 firmware has some kind of
hooks to allow a native sound driver to take over and to reroute the
interrupts without SB emulation. I don't have the docs for VSA2 but the
horribly big natsemi provided audio driver does show how to do it.

Looks like somebody did it already. I will try it as soon as  I can.

Hmm. I don't have VGA. Linux was always starting without VGA console. I had 
to disable display (power off the DAC's) because of constant "Checking FLASH" 
screen.

Might be worth setting the IRQ to sharable. I've never seen a 5530 with
the sound IRQ shared so I don't know if that works and is a valid
configuration for the VSA firmware

Does this mean that interrupt cannot be shared? Or is this something
