hda-intel broken under 2.6.19

I've just upgraded a i686 dual box from 2.6.18.3 to 2.6.19 on a .  (I
had been running ALSA 1.0.13.rc3 and also upgraded to the release for
for library and utility programs).  The hda-intel driver had problems
with initializing the mic (e.g., using skype for linux), but played
sound properly.  Since upgrading, that no longer works (e.g, using aplay
or mpg123).

I've reconfigured alsa, and upgraded the libs and utils to the 1.0.13
release.

Anybody else have this problem?  Any suggestions?

David

Al Viro already posted a patch which has slightly more chance of
working. I'm not sure who's supposed to merge it, it seems to have
fallen through the cracks.

OSS driver removal, 3nd round

Now that the second round of removing options for OSS drivers where ALSA 
drivers without regressions exist for the same hardware got included in 
Linus' tree, it's time for a third round amongst the remaining drivers.

Removing OSS drivers where ALSA drivers for the same hardware exists has
two reasons:

1. remove obsolete and mostly unmaintained code
2. get bugs in the ALSA drivers reported that weren't previously
   reported due to the possible workaround of using the OSS drivers

The list below divides the OSS drivers into the following three
categories:
1. ALSA drivers for the same hardware
2. ALSA drivers for the same hardware with known problems
3. no ALSA drivers for the same hardware

The proposed timeline is:
- 2.6.20: let the drivers under 1. in the list below depend on
          OSS_OBSOLETE
- 2.6.22: remove the options depending on OSS_OBSOLETE
- 2.6.24: remove the code for the drivers that were depending on
          OSS_OBSOLETE from the kernel tree

To make a long story short:

If you are using an OSS driver because the ALSA driver doesn't work
equally well on your hardware listed under 1. below, send me an email
with a bug number in the ALSA bug tracking system now.

I don't think I've ever used this sound driver on any of my  
PowerMacs, ranging back to my aged 400MHz box, which is (I believe)  
the only piece of hardware I own which it supports, and the ALSA  
driver plays sound on that system perfectly.  Admittedly the ALSA  
driver's a bit more flaky on my newer G5 and powerbook but I don't  
think the DMASOUND_PMAC driver _ever_ supported those (and I doubt it  
ever will).

Cheers,

snd_via82xx stutters under 2.6.20-rc1, works under 2.6.19.1

	I have a computer using the snd_via82xx sound driver module.
Under 2.6.19.1, sound seems to work fine.  Under 2.6.20-rc1, there
are regular stutters in the sound every quarter second or so, at least
when I play a .wav file played xine, using either "--audio-driver alsa"
or "--audio-driver oss" (I have the snd_pcm_oss module loaded to do
OSS via alsa).

	I will post follow-ups if I am able to narrow, diagnose or
resolve this problem.  If anyone is already aware of this problem, I
would be interested in hearing about it.

	This does not occur for me under 2.6.20-rc2.

	To whoever fixed it, thank you!

[PATCH] set_current_state usage in oss/

hi,

since we have a macro to set the current state,
we should use it, instead of open coding it.
