Hi all,
when I looked today through the files of the snd-hda-intel module, I was a bit shocked by this complex amount of code (patch_realtek.c for example). I would think about splitting up the code in a way each chipset gets its own .c file - which will make debugging, patching or editing a lot easier IMO, and for second people can then comment on just their specific chipset in config.
What do you think about this?

PS: If there are no objections, I'll start working on realtek.c on weekend.
Cons:
- Too many kernel configs are also no preferred option. I already splitted up to several configs, and I got many stupid bug reports.
- Moving the code makes hard to track the changes, especially the regression between versions.
I'm strongly for the solution with the user-space setup tool. The project was stopped simply because of my lack of time.
