Hi everyone! This patch inlcudes the following changes on the cs46xx driver: - SPDIF input, prevent the DSP to hang when umuting/muting the the SPDIF input controll in mixer while playbakcing PCM. - Fix missplaced #ifndef, "#ifdef CONFIG_SND_CS46XX_NEW_DSP" instead of "#ifndef CONFIG_SND_CS46XX_NEW_DSP" - Only Hercules Game Theater XP: turn on amplifier when driver is loaded and keep it on, to prevent *snap* sound when changing amplifier on -> off vs. off -> on. - Refine on the PCM multichannel functionality, the *snap*'s sound when stopping and starting playback should be gone, by clearing DSP sample rate buffers, and muting the PCM readers. - More cleanups, remove unused code (#if 0 ... #endif)
The SPDIF input functionality consider it as _expermintal_, is still not good enough, sound sometimes distorcionated, and sometimes left and right channels are swapped. I dont believe it's necesary to turn off the soundcard amplifier however the soundcard may not be used all the time. When turing on the amplifier it usually produces some undesired *snap* sound in speakers, if the amplifier is turned off each time PCM playback is stopped or started you will have that *snap* sound each time you start playbacb of any kind of sound. I understand that on embedded devices and notebooks it can make sense turning of the soundcard amplifier to save power, but on a desktop computers power is usually not a problem, and the eg. the Game Theater XP card will never be used on anything else then a desktop computer, and then the amplifier can leaved on all the time without any problem. Finally, I hope then you can hear when you playback sound that some undesirable noise *snaps* are gone now. /Benny
