Hi, I'm maintaining the ALSA stack as a separate alsa-driver using the supplied tarballs from www.alsa-project.org unlike some popular distros which uses the in-kernel sound/ stack. This has the advantage of quickly acting against latest quirk or driver support changes and pushing a driver update instead of whole the kernel update. But there is a big disadvantage that I'm not able to figure out how to solve: When we enable the SND Kconfig option in kernel, some other sound support for some DVB devices(e.g. SAA7134 sound support, etc.) are enabled as well. So if you're using the in-kernel ALSA, you can enable and use them happily but in my case, those additional sound supports can't be enabled in kernel. Is there a way to hack around this when a separate alsa-driver is used in a distro? Is it technically possible to patch those tiny drivers onto alsa-driver and compile them if the .config file from the kernel source has enabled those DVB devices? Or maybe I should enable ALSA in-kernel, compile those DVB sound stuff and remove the sound/ directory from the kernel package? (Even the idea sounds really *dirty*, dunno if it's technically possible too) Thanks, Ozan Caglayan http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
