There is an actual conf, which can be converted into an actual binary: `alsa-lib/src/conf/topology/broadwell/broadwell.conf` Theoretically, there can be an unknown number of the binaries, not available publicly. Broadwell exists for a long time, and there is no way to be sure that all the theoretically existing binaries are modified together with this kernel patch. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
