Hi,

[Takashi]:

OK, _THIS_ time I actually did get the correct model (last time I tried
modprobe with model=acer-aspire, but apparently it then used the
/etc/modprobe.d/ model=toshiba setting, since this time gamix showed
entirely different controls with i-Mic etc.) - all the more reason to
log the model name chosen/selected by the driver!!
--> I have to admit that usability sucks^Hcould be a lot better.
It's perfectly fine for ALSA to not have support for newish codecs or newish
machines with weird setups, but basic usability and or documentation
should thus be as good as can be to make sure that weaknesses can get detected
and fixed in no time, even by "interested parties".

i-Mic on Ekiga with lotsa mixer fiddling didn't work either this time.

OK, here it is (-rc3 with model=acer-aspire):
