Then you're right, this patch must have slipped through the > cracks. Well, ALSA 1.0.10-final was already released in last November, i.e. before 2.6.15. When 2.6.15 was released, we had ALSA 1.0.11rc2. > > (plus 1.0.10 has drivers that are not yet in the kernel tree AFAIK) > > Yeah I never liked this practice, I think all ALSA drivers should be in > the kernel. IMHO an immature driver is better than no driver. These drivers are either ones that are pretty experimental or broken, or the ones that are not confirmed to work with the latest 2.6 kernel. In the latter case, I can push to kernel tree at any time once after someone tests and reports it to me.
