It could be still built with alsa-driver tree, which works for 2.2 and 2.4 kernels (unfortunately 1.x and 2.0 kernels aren't supported ;) But it doesn't make sense to keep the code in 2.6 tree, of course. So now it's moved into out-of-kernel tree again. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
