--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that I need to apply this patch but I cannot understand how to do
this.
I have read that in order for the drivers to recognise the DSX card then
this patch is necessary.
Please explain where to apply it and how to compile the drivers afterwards.

Linux Mint 14, KDE, ASUS M5A78L-M motherboard with ALC887 chip. ALSA and
PulseAudio, all work together but sound quality is disappointing so I wish
to use the Xonar DSX instead.
