Hmph.  Sound still works just fine for me using this morning's kernel.
I don't believe you. :-) You must have mucked something else up,
though you're probably looking in the wrong place for "something"
right now.

I would like to know what that message is.  It works fine.

Can't reproduce.  Are you SURE that xcdplayer or whatever player
you're using isn't still running somewhere?

Fixed in later versions.

"you" being whom in this example?  The question doesn't quite parse
into anything I can immediately answer.  One answer might be "boot -c",
but that's assuming a certain value for the question. :-)

3 probe routines and one common set of driver code, if possible.
See how the Buslogic driver is done, for example.
