o k i ll try to diff it with my fix and original just in some later time 
- i'm writing music now, srry i want to create more sounds in few days, 
i've already spent 2 days on programming and debugging alot
and btw hows it works? what to do with git? i got own git in netbeans 
but still don't know how to use it more easy (maybe i'll it later)
ok
git clone - just right now, so i'll check it
do i need to get from latest snapshot?

- yep it was always when i was gettin out of suspend or reboot, with my 
fix it is not happening anymore but you need to ask some1 with audiodock 
to check if "!" is working

found it, ok i'll try to rem it and see what happens, but for me it is 
working right now when it is enabled and as i seen it it notebook i 
thought that it is similar to mine (there was a pcmcia version with 
audiodock-m so i think 1212 is a next gen of ecard)

no it's not a clean up, i've really fixed the code check the .patch diff 
for other files i've set if (not emu_model){exec ac97 and spk71}

well i'm not really sure, i don't like to reboot system everyweek, my 
last uptime was 23 days but because of the driver - it's changed and i 
had freezes few times when trying to wakeup the system and exec load 
firmware some other ways.

actually i need to know what is the ca_cardbus is ? and then see the 
code to check when it is loading and which registers needs to be checked.

yes, i'm subscribed and i was looking for latest drivers few times but 
the problem is that i'm banned as a tor-exit-node, so i've disabled tor, 
but still cannot access few sites - i cannot go to https://alsa.ftp  for 
example, so i've take some that i could, looks like i'll have to check 
all changes again?
