Summary: build without kbuild subdirectory The driver is built without kbuilt subdirectory by checking $(KERNELRELEASE) in the toplevel Makefile. - Summary: fix cross-compile for 2.6 kernels Fix cross-compile for 2.6 kernels. Also, CONFIG_COMPAT is checked for 2.6 kernels. - Summary: Fix build for sparc64 Fix build for sparc64. Check of RTC kernel support is simplied, too. - Summary: Fix build of SPARC32 Fixed the wrong compiler and linker checks for sparc32. - Summary: Added pci_dev_present() function for 2.6.9- kernels - Summary: Moved via82xx-modem driver to alsa-kernel tree Moved via82xx-modem driver to alsa-kernel tree - Summary: Improve the parse of include path Improved the parse of include path for the seprate kernel build directories. - Summary: Exclude .cvsignore from tarball - Summary: Rename of audigyls to ca0106 and support of SB Live 24bit snd-audigyls is renamed to more generic name, snd-ca0106. Now it's in the independent subdirectory pci/ca0106. The new driver supports SB Live 24bit, too. Signed-off-by: James Courtier-Dutton &lt;James(a)superbug.co.uk&gt; - Summary: Fix make pack for 2.6.x Fix "make pack" for 2.6 environment. - Summary: Hotplug firmware loader support The hogplut fw loader is supported by vxpocket, vxp440, vx2222 and mixart drivers. The old ALSA fw loader is still supported for built-in kernels. The hotplug fw is disabled on 2.2/2.4 kernels (although the recent 2.4 could support it). To use the hotplug, the new firmware data must be installed beforehand from the latest alsa-tools package. The experimental suspend/resume for vxpocket, vxp440 and vx222 are added, too. - Summary: Add Digigram PCXHR driver Added Digigram PCXHR driver (snd-pcxhr). - release: 1.0.8-rc1 - release: 1.0.8rc1 - Summary: Move emu10k1x driver to alsa-kernel emu10k1x driver is moved to alsa-kernel tree. - Summary: Move snd-ca0106 driver to alsa-kernel snd-ca0106 driver is moved to alsa-kernel now. - Summary: Check CONFIG_FW_LOADER in configure CONFIG_FW_LOADER kernel config is checked in configure script. - Summary: Add echoaudio drivers Added echoaudio drivers by Giuliano Pochini &lt;pochini(a)shiny.it&gt;it>. These drivers require the firmware loader support on kernel (which is avalable on 2.6 and recent 2.4 kernels). - Summary: Add a note about make install-modules Add a short note about make install-modules. - release: 1.0.8rc2 - Summary: fix compiler version check The compiler version check didn't actually look at the kernel compiler version. - Summary: Split --with-cards to --with-card-options option A new configure option --with-card-options is added. It contains the card-specific boolean options, which were specified in --with-cards option. The INSTALL doc is improved a bit. - release: 1.0.8 + ALSA Core - Summary: Add pci_save_state() in suspend Added pci_save_state() in the ALSA suspend core callback since its call was removed from the PCI core driver in the recent version. - Summary: regenerated for the addition of pci_save_state(). - Summary: fix module_param_array() wrapper for old 2.6 kernels Fixed the new module_param_array() wrapper for 2.6.4 or older kernels. - Summary: check CONFIG_COMPAT for snd-ioctl32 check CONFIG_COMPAT for selection of snd-ioctl32 module. - Summary: [trivial] Fix compile warnings Fix trivial compile warnings. - Summary: remove CONFIG_SND_VERSION CONFIG_SND_VERSION is removed from here since it's already defined in version.h. - Summary: Export functions for ioctl32 wrapper Export some functions to access from ioctl32 wrapper. This will reduce the memory footprint (doublly kmalloc's for the same ioctl records). - Summary: Clean up of kfree()/vfree() NULL checks I've cleaned up sound/ directory from "if (x) {k/v}free(x);" and similar constructions. I'm going to to this for most of the kernel if I found some time.

Moved AD-specific initialization code into it. - Summary: Disable "IEC958 Input Monitor" switch for ALC codecs "IEC958 Input Monitor" switch for ALC codecs produces only the cracky noises, and KDE seems to turn this on as default in the initialization. So, better to remove this switch. - Summary: Fix compilation without CONFIG_PM Fixed the compilation without CONFIG_PM. The resume callback is built only with CONFIG_PM. - Summary: Fix detection of Xbox Unfortunately, on newer xboxes, the chip reports less info than before, making another change necessary - this change is backwards compatible, and doesn't break earlier xboxes, of course. The patch is originally from Ed Hucek &lt;hostmaster(a)ed-soft.at&gt;at>. Signed-off-by: David Pye &lt;dmp(a)davidmpye.dyndns.org&gt; - Summary: Fix CMI9739A silent problem Fix by Zinx Verituse &lt;zinx(a)epicsol.org&gt; The patch for cmi9739a is added.

Now ac97_quirk option becomes as a string option, and more undstandable. For example, you can pass like "ac97_quirk=hp_only". The old number is still kept and parsed for backward compatibility. - Summary: Clean up and fix stereo mutes Clean up the build of controls. The volume resolution detection is unified. Fixed minor bugs to handle stereo mutes. - Summary: Fix C-Media codecs Don't create PCM (and Master for CM9739/9761) volume controls for some of C-Media codecs. The volume is supposed to be controlled via softvol plugin.

The component becomes like "AC97a:12345678". - Summary: Fix Oops at resume Fixed Oops at resume on certain codecs. Set null ops when no patch exists or the patch doesn't set build_ops. - Summary: Adapt SPDIF Input selection for Realtek ALC658 This fixes the SPDIF Input selection for ALC658 as Realtek has changed the meaning betweenALC655 and ALC658.

That memory is mmaped by jack's usx2y driver. Jack's usx2y driver is the first/last executable code to read/write pcm data. Read/write is a combination of power of 2 period shaping and float/int conversation. Compared to standard alsa/jack we leave out power of 2 period shaping inside snd-usb-usx2y which needs memcpy() and additional buffers. As a side effect possible unwanted pcm-data coruption resulting of standard alsa's snd-usb-usx2y period shaping scheme falls away. Result is sane jack operation at buffering schemes down to 128frames, 2 periods. Also changed Kconfig file, so snd-usb-usx2y is only available for X86, PPC or ALPHA platforms, as on others DMA-memory isn't mmapable.
