Will anyone start porting from OSS? It doesn't look like so much amount of codes...
I intend to port from OSS soon. I just need to learn more about the driver's internals.

I now had some datasheets for the x-fi. I think the first thing we should do is create a GPL version of the header files. Shall I do that task?
James
Yes! That sounds great. I have two different X-Fi cards, so let me know when you have the headers ready, and we can merge them into the OSS4 driver as an initial effort. That way everything we have is theoretically free. I'll have to recheck what is in OSS4 though.
William
Why put it into OSS4? I would put it into the alsa-driver hg repository as a new driver. The header would go into the alsa-driver include dir. Then, start by writing a new alsa driver to just playback to the front speakers with possibly a volume control. Once we have that in alsa-driver working, we can then add features gradually. I don't think we will be able to use the OSS4 code, that is only really useful as a reference.
