You are probably right but its not clear, and if the audio is going the video component might as well go too. Have you checked with the ARM people or the person who added support ( pwaechtler@loewe-komp.de) ? It's also used in various appliances people "adjust" to run Linux - the Philips AOL-TV for example. Also on the SH reference boards for the hitachi sh series cpus (arch/sh*). > 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. Think it should stay for now at least. Pointing at ALSA bugzilla as proof of non-use is not a good test.
