Please note the dmasound drivers do not have ALSA equivalents.

These belong to the latter, "dead old and inactive" ones :)

Are these driver still used with the latest kernel?  If users are

I believe so.

willing to help, we can provide the port to ALSA drivers, too.

That would be great, thanks!

OK, we can go forward, then.

But, looking at the tree again, I noticed that ALSA isn't built yet at
all for m68k.  I don't remember why it's disabled.
Jaroslav, do you know the reason behind it?

Because ALSA doesn't have any drivers that can be used on m68k platforms?

And, dmasound is a completely different implementation from the other
OSS, thus it doesn't suffer from set_fs() hack.  That is, we may still
keep dmasound, while removing other OSS stuff.

That's indeed good to know.

Meanwhile we'll try to support ALSA on m64k and eventually target to
drop dmasound stuff.

Does it sound more feasible?

Yes, definitely in the short run ;-)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
