Hi,
Due to lack of time, I didn't update kernel on my desktop system. Now I notice that analog loopback go removed. Why?
Because it harms than helps more often. I've got tons of bug reports and been upset just because users blindly set "Analog Loopback" mixer switch and lost their sound output. This is no mixer element that behaves intuitively -- it shuts out PCM output instead of adding the analog loopback like other hardwares.
Here it doesn't shut PCM. I just hear input in headphones, mixed with output. I suspect that this feature might not work correctly on newer devices that ones I have added.
Possibly...
Probably IDT removed the analog mixer in quest for better quality.
I think it should work fine for "STAC..." parts.
Anyway lets put it back at least for my STAC9227, OK?
