'Twas brillig, and David Henningsson at 30/11/11 11:51 did gyre and gimble: > The thinkpad ACPI driver sometimes creates a virtual sound card, > which at best exposes a volume control. Save some startup time, and > unnecessary error messages in the log, by ignoring it. For the time being, I think this makes sense. Longer term it would be nice to be able to connect it to the main sound card it controls somehow but, if possible, this should happen at the alsa side. Pulled/pushed. Thanks.
