Just that the alsa hda drivers are undergoing quite a lot of changes=20 upstream ATM, so you might expect possible behavior changes for 2.6.31 as= =20 you seem to have gotten for 2.6.30. I don't have that audio device here,= =20 mine's much older, but I do run direct git kernels, and have developed=20 the habit of running a git whatchanged ORIG_HEAD.. after every git pull,=20 just to follow the changes as they happen. As such, I've seen a LOT of=20 those alsa:hda commits going by, so I know it's quite active ATM. =20 However, it does appear most of those are simply adding tweaks and new=20 model numbers to the list of what it supports, not major changes, so it's= =20 not /that/ bad. But there's still enough change that you might see bugs=20 if you're running that hardware and nobody that's testing is running your= =20 particular model of it. But if they're reported, they should be fixed in= =20 short order, and even if you don't report them, the hardware's apparently= =20 common enough on mew machines that it'll probably be fixed in a stable=20 update or two. (2.6.30 to 2.6.30.1 or .2, for instance, noting of course=20 that those are the upstream versions, Gentoo uses -rX notation in place=20 of the additional version digit, for its gentoo-sources packages.) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
