You can continue to demo on the bf548-ezkit under 2010R1 release. >second, ac97 should be just a transport layer, so is there any >reason people cant hook up other codecs via it ? >-mike We have already made the decision to stop supporting obsolette ad1980 and AC97 in kernel since 2009R1. After the ASOC is revised in 2.6.37, I don't think it worth the efforts to port the drivers and keep them in future release. If people want to hook other AC97 sound card (not from ADI), they are on their own.
