[alsa-devel] [REPOST] opti93x: conversion to use cs4231 library

[Massimo Piccioni]

Hi Rene,

when I provided the driver years ago all my 930* cards were working well 
in WSS mode.
Please note that 'well' means: 'I can hear sound coming out from 
speakers, and its quality is not so bad' :)
But it is a long long time I do not test those cards.

I will try to check the latest source code.
Massimo
