Hi, Takashi Iwai Before the API stuff going into the mainline(2.6.33), can we apply this "[PATCH] MIPS: Fixups of ALSA memory maps"(This is the minimal necessares) as a current fixup. and then we will not get a broken sound support for MIPS, and also the support to the latest Loongson2F family machines will benefit from it. and Ralf, what about your suggestion?
