Hi,

$SUBJECT is now on my sound-unstable git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound->unstable-2.6.git together with other experimental patches.

Just wanted to help out with testing stuff.

I compiled your snapshot on my gentoo Linux x86_64

Compilation, installation and loading the drivers went smooth.

And, yes, there is sound...

Here some infos: blub@freax $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: ORIG [SB XFi (ORIG)], device 0: SB-XFi [SB-XFi] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So now the funny part:

I was testing a few samplerates: Used a 1 kHz sine, 0 dBFS, 16 bit mono wave file, 96 kHz sample rate and rsampled it with sox: for i in 88200 50400 50000 48000 47250 44100 44056 32000 22050 11025 8000 ; do sox 0_16_96000.wav -r ${i} 0_16_${i}.wav ; done

and played them with aplay:

for i in 96000 88200 50400 50000 48000 47250 44100 44056 32000 22050 11025 8000 ; do echo "Now playing 0_16_${i}.wav" ; aplay 0_16_${i}.wav ; echo "DONE" ; done

96000 --> O.K. 88200 --> No Sound 50400 --> No Sound 50000 --> No Sound 48000 --> O.K. 47250 --> No Sound 44100 --> No Sound 44056 --> No Sound 32000 --> No Sound

22050 --> SYSTEM FREEZ Playing WAVE '0_16_22050.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono

11025 --> SYSTEM FREEZ Playing WAVE '0_16_11025.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono

8000 --> No Sound

Let me know if I can help out testing some more stuff

kind regards Bjoern
