Just wanted to report that it seems w/ 2.6.18-rc6 the fix has made it in, and my system now reports that there is a SoundByLayout alsa device.
However... ;)
It seems the new device doesn't have any volume control. I know the old toonie driver used some form of softvol support, but "it just worked", where as now I have no control over my system's audio volume.
While not the most terrible of regressions, its a bit irritating (waking to loud mail notifications, specifically :). Is this something that I have to wait for an alsa userland update to fix, or is the new kernel driver just not fully functional yet?
thanks -john
