In reviewing the GPL2 version of their code, I can't see any benefits to the Intel HD Audio code base. I'll build and test it to see if there is any improvements, but I'm doubting it. There are no widget controls specific to each chip.

Hi, Does anyone know if there's any kind of list showing a comparison of hardware support between ALSA and OSS/4Front?

With the recent open sourcing of OSS, it would be nice to port code to ALSA for devices that are only currently covered by OSS. There has to be at least a few devices that we can grab support for, right? It may at least provide us with insight into a few bugfixes.

You could compare http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/Linux.html with ALSA's sound card matrix, but the latter tends to be out of date.

AFAICS all devices supported by the open-source OSS are also supported by ALSA.

The Lynx, Sonorus and Envy24 drivers are not open source.
