OK I set that bug to FEEDBACK, but it's open 5 months now and no testers are forthcoming. I think if we don't find one as a result of this thread we can assume no one cares about this hardware anymore. I'm still not sure that just adding it to the ALSA driver and hoping it works is the best solution. Would we rather users see right away that their hardware isn't supported, or have the driver load and get no sound or hang the machine? I think the best approach might just be to drop it in lieu of a tester. It will be trivial to add support later if someone finds one of these boxes.
