Yes. I've been using snd_maestro3 since January, before it was in either :)

Modulo not surviving a suspend/resume and certain mixer apps holding the 
device open (so you can't unload/reload it on resume), it works fine on my 
Omnibook 6000, which has the Maestro3.

-STABLE doesn't allocate resources for the sound chip on the 6100, the 
registers/ports don't apparently get set up by the BIOS, and the 
probe_and_attach routine returns 6 (fails on SYS_RES_IOPORT).

Feedback at the time indicated that I was SOL, as the BIOS doesn't contain an 
option to set PNPOS=NO (as so many don't, these days). HP's attitude is 
"reload a supported OS from the recovery CD". Sweet...

Search for a Subject="ESS Allegro-1 not working in 4.4-STABLE?" in mobile, if 
you're interested.

Well, it suspends/resumes just fine in -STABLE (once you hack the Intel ICH3 
ATA controller id, otherwise it dies horribly). I did power it off and on at 
least a few times (like, to sleep etc.), and it made no discernable difference.

Thanks,
