[Alsa-devel] Fwd: RE: To ESS Tech Support
Here is another response from ESS about specs for ES1988 (maestro3/allegro1). Could some others email them and ask for the info for thier cards, please? Maybe if enough of us ask, we will se some positive results.

Maybe if enough of us ask, we will se some positive results. i doubt if numbers will make much a difference. why not just quote to them the list of audio interface manufacturers and chipset makers who have provided the necessary information, and then ask them if they want to part of that list or marked as unsupportable. the list is determinable from the matrix on the website. these companies (like ess) need a swipe to the head with a cluestick. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
