[alsa-devel] snd-hda-intel support for SPDIF-in wiht vt1708 card?

[Darryl House]

Ok, here's the current state of affairs... both the compilation and driver seem to work well now, though I haven't tested SPDIF yet. I don't know why both John Stile and I were getting ioctl errors, perhaps if it is still happening to him he can elucidate, but it isn't happening to me any more with the latest build.

I obtained and built a clean mercurial clone this morning (07 Jan 08):

%> cd /usr/src
%> rm -rf alsa-driver
%> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver
%> cd alsa-driver
%> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel
%> hgcompile

[...] compilation proceeds cleanly...

%> make install

%> alsaconf
[...] select card and configure it via alsamixer

Lo and belold, it all worked! I have a clean compilation and good response from aplay and other user space tools.

I haven't applied any patches, and I haven't been able to test SPDIF input yet but I'm betting John Stile should be able to report that faster than I can get to it...

Thank you very much for your help with this and for all of the work you and the ALSA team do!
