Hi. Under kernel 2.6.23, I could get sound from the alsa device
created by the module snd_bt87x.
In kernel 2.6.24, there is no sound.
Also, in kernel 2.6.23 the device would only appear if I modprobed the
module with the option load_all=1.
In kernel 2.6.24, the option load_all=1 is unnecessary for the device
to appear. This is probably because I have in 2007 sent an email to
this list with information about my board (it was responded by
Takashi).
If you need any addition other than what I provide below, ask at any time.
