Carla,
Thanks. I'm really not that hostile towards requests for software as
long as they are relatively small and fit the design goals. :)
I have included support for the following:
(generic i586/via)
- emu10k boards (various Creative cards)
- Ensoniq 1370/1371/1373
- C-Media stuff
- Intel/SiS/nvidia/AMD/ALi AC97
- Via AC97
- anything from ESS
- generic USB audio
(Soekris net4801/WRAP)
- generic USB audio
Only Asterisk (so far) appears to detect ALSA automatically. I need to
test it more, but at least it finds the headers, links, and builds
chan_alsa.so. :)
