Takashi,
I also work for NVIDIA and am starting to work on some audio-related issues.
I'd like to get familiar with the flow of patches; where things get applied first and how they flow to public ALSA and kernel repositories, so:
I see the patch below has shown up in the snapshots at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/
What repository is that a snapshot of; a private repository of yours?
However, I can't find the patch anywhere at:
It's here now, too. It depends how often I sync my tree with Takashi.
I'm mainly asking, because I want to work with distro kernel maintainers to get this patch into distros, rather than waiting for new distro versions to ship, which even then might not pick up a kernel with this patch the first time around. However, before I do that, I need to find a sane public upstream location that shows the patch is acceptable upstream.
Post your patches here, to the alsa-devel mailing list. We usually send you a reply that we applied your patch to our trees.
