[alsa-devel] ASOC on OMAP3+twl4030
Hello all, I am reporting an issue for last 4 days and i am not getting enough response fromt he mailing list.
My issue is with the asoc drivers for omap3 and twl4030 combination which are available in the latest git kernel.
Audio is working on my custom board when i boot out of MMC but the same setup (x-laod, u-boot and uImage and hadware) the audio is not working when i boot out of NAND.
Can any one help me in debugging the issue.
Background: I am using 2.6.26 linux kernel i have ported soc stuff from 2.6.27 latest git kernel for omap3 mcbsp and twl4030 codec support.. the audio is working when i use it on OMAP3EVM even though it is booted out of NAND.
I am getting very less replies against my issue am i posting to wrong people or what can any one tell me how can i make use of this mailing list to its fullest

Hmnn, I have gotten very good responses posting to the list, but a few words of open source etiquette here might be in order, but the problem could be exasperated if English isn't your first language. First of all, no-one HAS to help you if they don't want. After all you are not paying them, so they are doing so strictly on a voluntary basis, so you can't demand that people help you, you just have to ask nicely. Second of all, where is your code? Try posting your code, and then giving a little more details about how you tried to debug this, or ask a more specific question, like "how do I go about debugging this" - and you will probably get some better responses.
Good luck John

Just to emphasise what John said, you can't rely on any particular support level from the community - the responses will depend on a range of factors, including things like how busy the people involved are.
You can normally help getting a response by providing as much information as possible about your problem and the steps you have taken to resolve it - this makes it very much easier for people to reply since, for example, it's more likely that something will jump out at them. These web pages contain some suggestions on the sorts of thing to do in your e-mail to help get the best response (the second one is more targetted at end users than developers but is still useful):
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
With the kernel community it can also help to send direct copies of your mail to people who have worked on the relevant code since people may either miss postings on mailing lists (there is often a lot of traffic) or in some cases not be subscribed to the lists at all. This doesn't apply to all free software projects - you should check the normal standards for a given project before doing this.
I also see that Jarkko has already suggested that in this particular case you contact the OMAP kernel developers - I'd suggest following up that route as well.
If you need guaranteed responses or more detailed responses than you are able to obtain from the community the usual approach is to work with people with whom you have a commercial relationship - for example, your chip or software vendors, or consultants you have employed.
