This question was asked recently on this list (last month) and that was were the status was last at. Here's what I found out from the discussion last month. Garrett Rooney <rooneg@rpi.edu> pointed out that there is a linux driver at : http://www.zabbo.net/maestro/ Sean O'Connell <sean@stat.Duke.EDU> brought up that there is mixer only code at : http://www.hut.fi/~will/freebsd-essm2-mixer.tar.gz and that it works with this fix : --- --- maestro.c.orig Thu Feb 24 13:25:42 2000 +++ maestro.c Sun Jun 11 00:54:21 2000 @@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ return ENXIO; done: - codec = ac97_create(dev, sc, essm_rdcodec, essm_wrcodec); + codec = ac97_create(dev, sc, NULL, essm_rdcodec, essm_wrcodec); if (codec == NULL) { device_printf(dev, "cannot create ac97 instance\n"); return ENXIO; --- The best news however was from Taku YAMAMOTO <taku@cent.saitama-u.ac.jp> who wrote : "By the way, recently I started to write the driver for ESS Maestro series.

So I'm hoping to here back soon that there something to test. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
