Hi Tobias,
I believe you are the author of the repository at https://github.com/smilingthax/alsa-driver_scarlett.
Yes, I am.
Your Scarlett driver is reported to be working fine, and there are some requests (see below) to get the driver into mainline Linux. Is this something you would be interested in helping out with?
I'm all for including the driver into mainline, but I do not have any time to go through N iterations of a patch to get it there.
I *might* be able to do a initial cleaned up version against tiwai's for-next in the next few days, if that helps.
Other than that, I will happily (try to) answer questions about the code.
Tobias
Regards, David

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? :] _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
