If you want problems in Linux/ALSA/Open Source software in general, you need to *SEND USEFUL BUGREPORTS AND WORK WITH THE DEVELOPERS TO GET IT FIXED* Replies like the one you just send gets you absolutely nowhere, or even worse it may land whatever problem you are experiencing at the bottom of the developers TODO list unless other people (that can be worked with) also have the same problem. You just demonstrated a very efficient way to *NOT* get your problem fixed. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
