Following an email to the manufacturers European support representatives, I was asked to try the following custom version of ALSA:

I am working on building and trying these drivers, but have a couple of questions in the meantime:

1. Does anyone know what the status of HDMI audio support is (in particular

Intel)?

2. Any idea why Realtek are maintaining their own version of drivers? Is

this a legal/licensing issue?

Jaroslav and Takashi-san,

Any idea why Realtek is still maintaining their forked ALSA? I thought you guys raised the issue with them a while back and they agreed to submit their changes through the standard process.
