Hi folks.
I prepared an unofficial Alsa-Installation (now 1.0.18) script for the Ubuntu Community. The intention is mainly to be up2date on the drivers, since this - the lack or limited functionality of drivers (I am aware of the reasons behind it) is IMO still one of the biggest weaknesses within Linux. Therefore it is IMO crucial to have the latest driver available. As you know most of the distributions make things worse since these are usually one major release behind.
I will check this out, and see if i can make any suggestions.. also, you could specify a seperate dir to hold the NEW modules, and update the depmod search path (this is how i frequently tell ubuntu users to install alsa, from source).
For standard installations the script seems to work fine.
We should be able to do a few tests, to determine things, and handle them differently etc.. If you've ever looked at the alsa-info.sh script, you'll know what i mean.. When originally writing that script, i wanted to take into account what 'interface' (if any) to use to display the output.. what information to collect (ac97/hda-intel) etc..
Quite some people have been/are using it. And of course responding to it - mainly about problems on specific sound cards.
I am wondering if things can be improved in the script. I would appreciate if somebody of the designers around here could have a quick look at it.
Im certainly no real expert, but it sounds like it would be a handy script, so worth a look into.
I am not so deep into Alsa that I can cover severe problems brought up over there. How would you recommend to handle this?
THX.
