My point was really that if you know pertinent information, why make someone ask for it over and over again. > Currently, we have two machines with alsa drivers (only one of which > *really* works, but that is beside the point), and the working driver is > applied to our mips-sources-2.6.* ebuilds along with the patchset for > octane.

As I understand it, the only working ALSA driver that you have it part of mips-sources. It would make sense to me for that to be the default virtual, as it would work for at least some people, versus the current situation where it works for none. > Unfortunately, we don't have any member of the mips team that really > does much with sound (where did that Indy go to anyway?), so I'm not > sure any of us are going to be able to give you a satisfying answer or > solution. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
