Hi, perhaps you've already found that 0.9.0rc2 appeared on the web. the attached is a brief changelogs since rc1.
[Changes in alsa-driver & alsa-kernel] * General fixes/additions - fixed memory handling routines for 2.2 kernels - fixed deadlock of snd-timer module - removed invalid __exit prefixes - use pci_alloc_consistent for the allocation of buffers on isa - fixed debugged printk - fix the check of return value from copy_from/to_user() - added 64bit integer support to the control API - fixed bogus delay value on pcm proc file - fixed endless loop at draining of linked pcms - fixed mmap by forked processes * Changes for 2.5 kernel - sync Makefile and Rules.make with the latest 2.5 tree - fixed CONFIG dependencies - moved EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS from alsa-kernel (for 2.5) to the files in alsa-driver tree - added missing include headers - use bitmap_member macro for bitmaps * New drivers - Hammerfaull H-DSP driver (snd-hdsp) - USB audio driver (snd-usb-audio) note for 2.5 kernel users: appearing only on alsa-driver, not integrated into alsa-kernel yet. * cs4236 - fixed isapnp detection of EWS64XL - don't initialize cport if disabled (some card will block the mouse irq by cport) * GUS - fixed the max sample rate of GUS GF1 pcm * sbawe - added emu8000 pcm (device #1) using wavetable * ac97 - support 5/6 bits mic/phone volumes - generate the correct proc files for multiple codes - added patches to initialize SPDIF on cirruslogic chips - added support for ALC chips * cmipci - fixed the inverted aux switch - added the spdif-in select on older models - fixed the phase inverse switch * cs4281 - added experimental support for dual codecs * emu10k1 - fixed big-endian support - fixed the rear playback volume on audigy - fixed panning on wavetable * es1968 - fixed the hw volume control * ice1712 - volumes will appear on envy24control with hoontech stdsp24 * intel8x0 - renamed chip strings * korg1212 - code clean up * rme32 - Digi32Pro can now work with 64/88.2/96kHz samples - increase the output capabilities - assert dac_reset if necessary * rme9652 - renamed snd-rme9652-mem to snd-hammerfall-mem module - fixed resource allocation - fixed playback noises * trident - fixed big-endian problem * via8233 - fixed playback on via8233A chip - support for multiple channel playbacks * ymfpci - added ymfpci 4ch duplication mode - added 'shared rear/line-in' switch * powermac - fixed compile - added auto-mute function - extension for screamer chip, bass/treble, master volume support - fixed volume table of tumbler chip - extension for tumbler, dcr switch, bass/treble support - using the standard i2c-keywest module [Changes in alsa-lib] - fixed compile for MIPS - added 64bit int support - added snd_seq_port_subscribe_set_voices() function - removed obsolete snd_seq_create_event(), snd_seq_free_event() functions - new configuration files for GUS, RME9636 and RME9652 - fixed simple mixer, not to build wrong capture elements - removed non-interleave mode on pcm mmap emulation. - fixed null pcm plugin - fixed sample levelmeter program to be built with the latest alsa-lib [Changes in alsa-utils] - added 64bit int support to alsactl - fixed period-time option of aplay - fixed playback of 16bit-au format on aplay - fixed capture of wave file on big-endian machines -- Takashi Iwai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SuSE GmbH - www.suse.de ALSA Developer ALSA Project - www.alsa-project.org ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
