Well, unfortunately I'm not seeing a change yet on my Opteron box using
the PCI interface card.
Firmware loading still requiring hdsploader, even thgouh hotplug is
enabled.
Also, I'm unable to dmix, or alsamixer.
This is with ALSA 1.0.9 RC1.
From 1.0.8 on,
the new method for uploading the firmare is through hotplug
and the kernel generic
firmware loading mechanism (if compiled in). You
shouldn't have to use hdsploader anymore. Anyway you should definitely use
CVS or the 1.0.9 RCs, as there were significant problems with the hdsp
driver in 1.0.8 that have been fixed since then (firmware loading,
endianness issues, metering).
