the necessity to recompile from source is, IMHO, the main factor keeping

Well I'm going try it. I mean, I've tried everything else the limited
resources have provided. I'm not ready to accept a patch that has for some
strange reason manage to elude detection and public circulation.
That patch is not very complicated. All it seems to do is to disable
all but 2 channel sound. t is a patch like any other, just that it was
posted to a very little read group.
However I do not like the patch. It screws up the program after the ndacs
variable is set. That is really dangerous and is liable to introduce extra
errors. I would much rather see mout->num_dacs redefined way back
However, what I suspect is happening is that nids[0] is not defined when
num_dacs=1, and as a result one is getting a segfault in the driver.
(but I have not traced it through).
The hda_local.h says that num_dacs is to be greater than 1, but that line
says
for (i = 0; i < mout->num_dacs; i++)
snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, nids[i], 0, 0, 0);
which of course runs with i=0 even if num_dacs is 1.
I have of course not really gone through this change or how to do it
properly in a proper way. But it definitely looks like some change is
needed.
FC4 ships with 1.0.9rc4. That didn't work. The same applies to 1.0.10 >
1.0.11rc2 > cvs. So what am I left with? Went from 1.0.9rc4 straight to
1.0.10.......so maybe I should have a go with 1.0.9.
I hope this works and if it doesn't then I'll just keep on trying. For me it's
a task and a task is always welcome. Keeps my brain in shape......
I'll keep you posted...........
