I personally would like to support the Realtek AC97, but I would also
suggest the SoundBlaster Drivers.

Subject: [Astlinux-users] Sound (ALSA) support is coming


Hello everyone,

        Carla Schroder brought up a good point - AstLinux cannot talk to
sound 
cards!

        I have used aplay to pipe in MOH from Line-In, etc sources before
and 
that has worked well.  I just have never had to do it on AstLinux. 
Today Carla was trying to figure out how to get chan_oss/chan_alsa to 
work.  No go.  I decided to do something about it.   The Gumstix 
buildroot included makefiles for alsa-lib and alsa-util.  All I had to 
do with bump the version, tweak the makefiles, and update a couple of 
patches.  Big thanks to Craig and the everyone else in the Gumstix 
community.  Sharing is caring :)!  This support has been included in 
trunk, and should work for any of the AstLinux target architectures/devices.

        I have not yet updated the kernel configs to support ALSA hardware. 
I'm pretty out of touch with what sound hardware people have out there 
these days.  Which modules should I include?

        I'm thinking the various USB sound adapters and the VIA stuff that
is 
included on the mini-itx boards.  What other sound adapters would you 
like to see supported in AstLinux?
