Well, the check is there for a good reason.
There are many machines with broken BIOS reporting the 4th slot available although it isn't actually. It's a workaround to skip such a bogus information. So, it cannot be changed so easily.
We need to sort out this in a better way... Oh well.
Please, please, put the above information as a comment to the respective place. These "hacks" should be commented :)
I changed that code yesterday with a little bit more comment.
Wei, Peer, could you regenerate the patch based on the latest sound git tree?
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
or use the snapshot tarball from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/tiwai/snapshot/
This already contains the fix for the 4th slot probe on Nvidia chipset.
thanks,
Takashi
