This is what we have discussed. > This piece of source can be found at kernel.org - like described in the > Debian wiki. > But it is not part of the compiled kernel - so the kernel must not be > compiled new to use it. cs46xx_image.h is a headerfile which is used to compile the kernel-driver snd-cs46xx. If this file is not existant while compiling the kernel or compiling the alsa-drivere separately the driver won't work. > It is dynamically loaded by the external kernel driver. This is a missunderstanding. snd-cs46xx needs no firmware. > Another question is if a CSxx chipset can't be supported by Debian, if only > one file can't be shipped with the distribution?
