Hi,
this is relating to my post from September: There doesn't seem to be any progress concerning the integration of the Scarlett alsa-driver patch into Alsa.
Can someone on the list tell me how to invoke a process to get it integrated?
The patch sources are here:
https://github.com/smilingthax/alsa-driver_scarlett
At the moment most of our students regularly have to reapply the patch as soon as they upgrade their systems and it's pretty time consuming and painful for the studio technicians and me to guide them through the process of patching kernel modules, so it would be great to simplify this process by integrating it into the official alsa distribution. I can confirm that the patch still works well on our systems.

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.
