Uhm... Sorry to see this issue brought up yet again. Just a couple of brief notes: - The in-kernel drivers seriously are not an equivalent alternative, let alone the preferred one, for stuff like hda-intel or any similar drivers that are under permanent heavy development, at least for now. - This is not a duplicated maintenance effort, it's simply needed to have external alsa-drivers ebuilds, and it's needed to have them supported as ALSA upstream won't accept bugs about in-kernel drivers. - The two are basically different branches, and it's *not* about whether the code is newer or older in one or the other at all. -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
