To what extent needs a codec specific code to work, or is it sufficient | to recognise it as a ac97? The vast majority of codecs work without any vendor/codec specific hooks. We only have one codec hook at present (ad1885), with a second one due to go into -CURRENT shortly (ad1980). Other projects make more extensive use of initialization hooks, but we're able to leverage less custom AC97 functionality because of the OSS mixer interface :-( The "unknown" string seems to cause an undue amount of concern from users, the intent was a string that would get people to report id's, but this hasn't proved a very effective way of getting this info from users. | Will the MFC be in time for 4.9R ? Murray just posted an update | that the code freeze for 4.9R will start coming Monday. Until your last message, there was no plan to, but after looking at the effort involved, I'm resolved to do it later today. - Orion
