Ok, here's the current state of affairs... both the compilation and driver seem to work well now, though I haven't tested SPDIF yet. I don't know why both John Stile and I were getting ioctl errors, perhaps if it is still happening to him he can elucidate, but it isn't happening to me any more with the latest build. I obtained and built a clean mercurial clone this morning (07 Jan 08): %> cd /usr/src %> rm -rf alsa-driver %> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver %> cd alsa-driver %> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel %> hgcompile [...] compilation proceeds cleanly... %> make install %> alsaconf [...] select card and configure it via alsamixer Lo and belold, it all worked! I have a clean compilation and good response from aplay and other user space tools. I haven't applied any patches, and I haven't been able to test SPDIF input yet but I'm betting John Stile should be able to report that faster than I can get to it... Thank you very much for your help with this and for all of the work you and the ALSA team do! -- Darryl -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> > At Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:31:19 +0000, > Darryl House wrote: > > > > > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > > [...] > > > > I'd like to get this card's spdif working.
