I guess I'll need to find the time to port the patch to a recent kernel when I upgrade, unless someone else does it first.
The patch still works on our recent kernels (we are on debian testing with a 3.14-2 kernel), atm there is no porting necessary. I can also confirm that the driver has no known issues on our systems (we use a couple of Scarlett 18i20 in different configurations). It would be great, though if the patch could get integrated into alsa. At the moment it is quite painful for our students with linux laptops as they have to reapply the patch on every upgrade.
Oh, I see. I'm all for integrating this patch into mainline. But I have never done such a thing, so I don't know how much effort it would be. I guess it would be a simple thing to do for a routine Alsa developer. Anyone? :]
just joined this mailing list yesterday for exactly the same reason: Bought an Focusrite Scarlett 6i6, and while it works with jack, it doesn't show up in the alsa mixer. As I understand, this patch should also work better for the 6i6, so I'd also very much appreciate getting this patch into the kernel.
If you need a tester for the 6i6 device, I'd happily try a patch.
