JFYI, I merged all patches Greg forwarded to me into topic/line6 branch of sound git tree. It's included to linux-next, so you can work on linux-next or my branch as well. Now the code has been moved from driver/staging/line6 to sound/usb/line6. I'm going to apply some driver rename and cleanup patches to follow to other ALSA driver standards, and think of splitting to each driver with a core line6 helper module after that. Feel free to send the further development patches to me and/or alsa-devel ML like other sound drivers. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
