Dan!
You are the man! Just tested your patch here, and worked great! At
least the analog out! Later i'll test optical out to my receiver...
one question remains for me, if the optical out can send 5.1 dts/ac3
passthrough... on windows I cannot send it, I get "pink noise" when
sending, only work 2ch via optical connection but no passthrough.
Did you already send a bug fix to alsa devel or something?
Thanks!

> Looks like the chip needs some config parameters sent to it via HID which are already there courtesy of the Turtle Beach hack.
> The register setup is outlined in the datasheet (I found it here: http://pdf1.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/view/158787/CMEDIA/CM106-L+.html) on page 21.
> The key is to set b15 in register 0x02 so that we can get the output.
