I know the ALSA team don't support Creative's X-Fi drivers, but maybe someone could help with this issue:
I've managed to 'backport' Creative's recently GPL'd drivers to run on a CentOS4 kernel with ALSA 1.0.15 - the changes to the code were minor, but one thing I'm not sure about is, in ctpcm.c it has:
static int ct_pcm_timer_stop(struct ct_atc_pcm *apcm) { unsigned long flags;
CTDPF("%s is called\n", __func__);
spin_lock_irqsave(&apcm->timer_lock, flags); apcm->stop_timer = 1; del_timer(&apcm->timer); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&apcm->timer_lock, flags);
try_to_del_timer_sync(&apcm->timer);
return 0; }
The CentOS4/RHEL4 2.6.9 kernel doesn't have try_to_del_timer_sync() - so, should I replace it with del_timer() or del_timer_sync() ?
I'm currently using del_timer_sync() - and the driver works (I get sound out the head phone jack) - is this OK?
Thanks
