I've gathered some various documents together, but from some notes I found in the snd_hda driver (I think in hdac.c), that it's a very firm intention to rewrite the driver entirely, to a better buss structure. Is that rewrite underway? I want to get some idea of the direction things are taking, so i can learn enough to contribute. I am NOT able to do that, not even close, today (the last time I wrote kernel stuff was in FreeBSD-2.2 days), but I need to see where things are going, so I can get myself into things. Does anyone know where the code might be, for the new form of the hda driver?
