If you still think so after reading this mail (especially license stuff at end of mail), I could post a diff somewehere. > If the set top box uses the AC97-Controller, alsa09 might already have a > sound driver for it, but someone might need to add an extra bit of card > recognition code to get it to work. It uses the internal AC97-controller of the SC1200 processor (XpressAUDIO - PCI device 100b:0503). I didn't find anything like that in the 0.9 code when I browsed through it. The driver also incorporates some MIDI stuff and such. > Also, if you can post to a URL any documents about the set-top-box, > which would make it easier for people to help you.

Well - I'm _paid_ to write these drivers :) National puts "Confidential" notices on all their documentation, so I don't think it would be a good idea to post those... And since our box is not quite on the market yet, I think my managers might not like me releasing too much specs. So what I can say is about this: The audio controller is described pretty well in this message I located on google: http://www.alsa-project.org/archive/alsa-howto/msg00312.html Different revisions of the box use CS4299 or CS4205 codecs. > It would probably be better to get support for the set top box into the > publically available version of alsa09, so that it will be kept up to > date with any other changes which might happen in alsa without you > having to worry about it. I definitely agree with you about this, however Nationals driver has some weird "BSD with export restrictions" license attached to it. Personally I think they should release the code under GPL so that it can be integrated with the main project, and I will try to convince them to do so - but for now I simply don't have time to wait for that. To clarify myself: what I really need right now is some hints about what differs between 0.5 and 0.9 from the driver(programmer)s point of view. regards / Leif _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
