- alsa-driver
+ Sound Core
- Fix detection of CONFIG_I2C_POWERMAC
Fix detection of CONFIG_I2C_POWERMAC in configure script.
- release 1.0.13rc1
- Fix check of CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1 on 2.6.18 kernel
Fix the configure check of CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1 introduced since 2.6.18 kernel.
- Fix hacked linux/autoconf.h generation in configure

Added the dummy wrapper of pci_{enable,disable}_msi() functions
for older kernels.
+ Control Midlevel

Retrun error to user TLV_READ ioctl if no TLV is defined.
(Until now, nothing was written and rerunred successfully.)

Added the definition of linear volume TLV type.
Some DSP chips and codecs (e.g. AK codec) use linear volume control.
- Fix errors with user TLV_WRITE
Fixed the errors at checking info.access field during user TLV_WRITE
call. It should have been zero-initialized.
+ AC97 Codec

+ HDA Intel driver
- hda-intel - Switch to polling mode for CORB/RIRB communication
Automatically switch to polling mode for CORB/RIRB communication
if the irq-driven mode seems not working well. If the polling
mode still doesn't work, switch to single_cmd mode as fallback.

Simple patch to enable Message Signalled Interrupts for the HDA Intel
audio controller. Tested with:
Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
MSI is better because it means audio doesn't end up sharing IRQ with USB.
Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

+ Trident driver
- Add dB scale information to trident driver
Added the dB scale information to trident driver.
+ USB generic driver
- Support for non-standard rates in USB audio driver
There's at least one USB audio chipset out there which supports only one
non-standard rate (ID 0e6a:0310 supports 46875Hz). There's a few other
patches for this card which are unsatisfactory because they attempt to
map this rate to 44.1k leading to sound distortion.
The patch below uses SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT to properly support the
non-standard rates where they are available.
