only slightly out of date. The good news is that there is an
experimental driver for the es1370 (which could be yours -- look at the
controller chip). I have the
playback working on -stable, some problems on recording. Joachim (the
original author, see the postings on multimedia) has both record and
playback ok on -current although with small mixer problems.
