Hi again! Seems there's quite big interest in the cs46xx stuff. Finally i've been able to have output from the rear channel on the secondary CODEC. For the moment the output are same on both rear and front channels, but it's possible to create a secondary .WAV device and transfer two independent DMA channels to front and rear, and I believe that I know how to do that, but that will require some more work and some drastic changes in cs46xx_lib.c.
It was not easy to find out how to probe and speak to the secondary CODEC, it has to be done different with AC97 2.0 and AC97 1.03 codecs, on AC97 1.03 I believe that codec_write && codec_read fucntions cant be the same so for the moment (probably) only cards with AC97 2.0 codecs will work. I've only tested this with "Hercules Game Theater", probably there will be a lot of strange behaviours with other soundcards. Now the "Game Theater XP" got two CS294 codecs, and now the ALSA mixer got two elements of almost everything, where about a 70% of all controls in the mixer are probably totally meaningless, controlling stuffs that are not conected to CODEC any suggestions about what to do with this ??? It dont not feel necesary to have two Master volumes ... Heres my new snaphot, you are welcome to test it out: http://www.cucumelo.org/~gorm/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2-bs20020727.tar.gz http://www.cucumelo.org/~gorm/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2-bs20020727.diff.gz /Benny ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
