[alsa-devel] How do I update the ALSA SoundCard Matrix?
I'm looking at http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main. I'm trying to add information on the CS4270 driver that I wrote, but I just don't get it. I know how to edit normal Wiki pages, but this looks different. It looks like all the information is obtained from some database somewhere.
This page
http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help:Howto-Edit
supposedly tells me how to edit, but it's useless. It doesn't really tell me *how* to edit, it just tells me that it can.
So what am I missing? How do I add information on a new driver? I'll need to add information on a new vendor soon, too.

When I added/updated a few things a while ago, I just did everything manually, working from example. Added various cards here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Terratec
and created a new vendor page for AdLib, which probably serves nicely as a minimal template:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-AdLib
The information in the current matrix was transferred from an older non-wiki matrix but as far as I know, this simple manual editing is all there's to it now. I'll admit I lost my way in the TerraTec page a few times since it gets fairly clumsy, but well, just refresh and check a lot before you commit ;-)

The information on the main page is obtained by searching for other pages with certain names or categories. So you just need to create your module and/or vendor pages and they will show up in the lists.

This page has a bit more info http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Description
For the driver, create Matrix:Module-cs4270 (assuming snd-cs4270 is the driver name)
Add the modinfo template as shown in the abovementioned wiki page. This fills much of the boilerplat text in the module page. My preference, if you have more interesting stuff to say about your driver, is to place it BEFORE the modinfo template.
Example in this style, http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-asihpi

Probably easiest to copy an existing Vendor page. Give the page a name "Matrix:Vendor-Something"
