My card was recognized and configured properly by the old PnP code. It is not recognized and configured properly by the new PnP code. How can that be classified as simply 'an unintentional side-effect of the code'? It seems to me that PnP functionality should not be dependant on any particular driver... I mean, the PnP code and the audio code (and the network driver code, and any other possible PnP device driver code) are seperate things, no? Shouldn't it be the job of the PnP code to recognize and configure the device so that it probes and attaches, regardless of what driver finds it? At least, it appears to me that that is what the old PnP code did. My card worked just fine with it, regardless of whether I selected 'pcm' or 'snd' in my kernel config. > > You are encouraged to participate in the ongoing development of our new > sourd drivers in order to ensure they meet the functionality of the old > ones, since that _is_ lost functionality that we care about.
