Hallo all, is there any way to force snd-usb-audio to use some "Vendor Specific Class" device? i currently got two webcams from my friends to take a look on. They are cheep gspca based webcams with Mic. I wont to test if snd-usb-audio can use it if i force it. Devices it self do not provide any hints for the driver.

Don't bother, AFAIK these devices which are pixart pac207bca based do not contain any microphone at all. If they do they usually have 2 plugs at the end of their cable a usb plug and an analog one for the mic.
Google for pac207bca datasheet to find a useless datasheet, note that it does contain a listing of the physical pins of the device, and notice the lack of any pins to connect a microphone too.
If the pac207 supports a microphone (which I strongly believe it does not) the mic on these cameras is not a usb audio class compatible device. The pac207 declares only one interface so audio data ihas to be handled over the same interface as the video data. So in order to support the MIC you first need to find out how it works and then glew an alsa driver onto the gspca pac207 driver (as only one driver can be bound to a single usb interface).

Hans, the pac207 driver maintainer
p.s.
It would have been helpful if you had contacted me about this, I just happen to be subscribed to the alsa-devel list too.
