Also, in the slides from the plumbers-conf. I think I saw it mentioned that there's also an alsa-compat git-tree somewhere. Maybe that is a more compelling usecase? I was unable to find it though so I'd appreciate a link.
It was on kernel.org, but if it got rm -rf'd then its gone as I do not have a local copy.
Oh, I didn't know of such a tree. So you created alsa driver build system with your spdiff? That's interesting.
The compat-alsa stuff though was determined to be superflous with the ALSA's team's own backport work which is currently independent.
Yes, the external alsa-driver build tree has existed since 10 years ago :) It was even possible to build with 2.2/2.4 kernels until recently.
The current tree is found in github, git://github.com/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git
My hope though is to unify these through the compat.git / compat-kernel (currently just called compat-wireless) effort.
The common framework would be really nice to have. V4L also have own build system, and possible other subsystem trees too.
thanks,
