[alsa-devel] Osprey 440 almost supported!!! Need X9221 i2c support!

[Nathan Allen Stratton]

This card does not use analog bt878a inputs, but rather the digital input.
To get audio working I set the mask to 000303, first two bits are for the
audio rate, 00 is 32000, 01 is 41000, 10 is 4800. The first two bits in
the next byte are for balanced or unbalanced audio input. 0x00 for
unbalanced and 0x100 for balanced. So I am using:

modprobe bttv card=140 bttv_gpio=1 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1 gpiomask=0x020303 audioall=0xFFFDFC

bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:08:04.0, irq: 24, latency: 132, mmio: 0xc8600000

 ok

So the issue now is that the audio is WAY to high so it is very distorted.
The audio is controlled via X9221A chips on the i2c bus at 0x50, there are
not drivers for X9221 so I can't lower the audio levels. Anyone able to
help me with this last part???
