Hello.

I have a Toshiba SB-0500 (041e:3048), which is basically a USB hub plus ethernet card plus sound card with remote. As of alsa 1.0.18a / linux 2.6.28 this beast is only partially supported by snd-usb-audio and, most importantly for me, the remote does not work (hub and ethernet are ok).

Considering the similarities with the SB 24 Live External and with the Audigy, I tried patching usbmixer.c and usbmixer_maps.c until I got it working with lirc's alsa_usb module. Please note that I didn't test mixer functionality and I have not much interest in that part for my use.

What should I do to get my patches reviewed and possibly incorporated into the next version? The changes are rather trivial imho but still this is my first serious attempt at kernel hacking.

Thanks for your help, Andrea.
