[alsa-devel] [GIT PULL] Additional firmware files for CA0132 HD-audio codec

[Connor McAdams]

Okay... So, my contact at Creative gave me an email as the 'sign-off
party' for firmware submission. As far as I'm aware, sign-offs also
need names attached, correct? So I'll ask for that. However, they
still want me to send it.

Will that be okay? Would you be more comfortable if I get you in
contact with someone at Creative,Josh?

I apologize for being kind of difficult, I'm doing what I can. Let me
know what I need to do, and I'll do my best.

Thanks,
Connor.
