Thanks for the encouragement and wisdom. I hope your additions, and mine, work out in the end.
They will!
A real hurdle with tasking everyone with patching for their devices, aside
from having probably long since given up hope for use of the device on GNU/Linux, is the amount of disparate forums they voiced their issues on. There's also the daunting likelihood that select few music creators actually would decide to compile their own kernels to see if a problem is fixed, let alone feel comfortable enough applying a patch.
Recompiling kernels with custom patches and workarounds for regular devices is madness. This should be needed only for development purposes.
True, but it's much less of a burden on a source-based distro. I used to use mainly Sourcemage GNU/Linux, which made changes pretty painless. With debian it's still doable, though I think building the packages takes more time. On Sourcemage, updating the whole system after a glibc upgrade takes even more patience.
I hadn't realized this was a list to drum up testers, or that every change needs to be tested fully. I thought it was a direct path to possible acceptance for inclusion in the kernel, if reasonable doubts are considered.
Well the Linux kernel has to be somewhat orderly even if the open source development model is inherently chaotic.
This should be a list with lots of testers but I'll bet the volume scares them off.
Yeah, the sheer amount relegated my thread to oblivion pretty fast.
I hope they'll let me sidestep that huge, unreasonable, undertaking, as my test implicit feedback "fix" for the UA-4FX (which doesn't need it) proved it still functions as perfectly as without it.
I disagree a bit with you. It's not very wise to add unneeded quirks.
In this case the quirks to me seem to be Roland/Edirol/Boss devices that don't need this method, but yes your point is well taken.
That should mean that for the devices that don't require this patch, but
which had been accidentally added, no harm is done. I can't really see myself as owner of all these devices someday... ;)
Thanks again, Geraldo!,

Thanks again!
