So, a quick test report would be greatly appreciated. It seems that there is no critical issues, so far. Thus I merged X-fi patch to sound GIT tree. It'll appear in the normal alsa-driver snapshot below, too. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz Any positive / negative feedback reports are still appreciated. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
