Anyone know when ALSA is expected to reach a more
or less stable state? I have tried ALSA on three
different PCs, each with a different sound board
(es18xx, Ensoniq 1371 and CMI 8378,) and the results
have been rather disappointing, in that the sound
behaves far more erratically with the ALSA dr
I've got a rather old laptop, the souncard of which
is based on an ESS ES1869. It works all right with the
kernel-shipped sound driver, but only in half duplex
mode.
I understand (I might be wrong though) that boards
built around this chip can support full duples mode.
If that is the case,
I have an Ensoniq 1371 board on a Linux box running
kernel 2.4.18. Everything seems to be OK, in that all
the drivers are loaded and I can play sounds all
right. There are a few issues though, which were not
present when using ALSA 0.5:
1) The board is reset to some (default, I guess)
values
