hi all,

i am currently working on an alsa driver for the digigram lx6464es interface, based on the sources of the windows driver.

since i would like to include some parts of the windows source code, (mainly the header files with register declarations) to the alsa driver, i have a few question:

• is it ok, if these files don't match the coding style of the linux kernel?

Please follow the standard coding style as much as possible.

• digigram assured, that i am allowed to include source code to the

linux driver. most of the files have the copyright notice: COPYRIGHT (some year) DIGIGRAM. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. is this statement ok, or do i need to replace the `ALL RIGHTS RESERVED' with a gpl-compatible license note?

I think it's better to replace that text to avoid any confusion and worries by other people in future. Not a requirement, but it should be in a form to give no doubt.

• is there any repository for alsa driver documentation, provided by the

manufacturer? digigram provided the windows driver for the lx6464es, mentioning that this source is `freely accessible to the GNU / ALSA community', so if there is a repository like that, the source package should probably be archived there.

We can put the stuff in ftp server of alsa-project.org. It's Jaroslav's call, though.

thanks,

Takashi
