Re: [2.6 patch] schedule obsolete OSS drivers for removal

I've Cc'ed the people listed in MAINTAINERS as being responsible for one or more of these drivers, and I've also Cc'ed the ALSA people. I haven't touched the maestro drivers in so long (for near-total lack of docs, etc.) that I can't be considered authoritative for approving it's removal. If people are relying on it I certainly don't know who they are. In better news, Takashi should now have the pile of maestro hardware that I used in the first pass to help him maintain the ALSA driver.. The OSS maestro driver works better on my old Armada E500 laptop. I tried ALSA after switching to 2.6, but the computer hung with 2.6.8.1 or 2.6.10 if I touched the volume buttons. With OSS they just work. The four separate dsp devices also look kind of more useful.

How many non-obsolete OSS drivers were there? someone needs to test the remaining PCI ID(s) that are in i810_audio but not ALSA. I've grep'ed a second time for every single PCI ID in the OSS i810_audio, and I still haven't found WTF you are talking about. Once again my question: I though I found every single PCI ID from this driver in ALSA. Which PCI IDs did I miss? cu Adrian -- Is there not promise of rain?

I have an Armada V300 laptop that uses the maestro2 chipset (and I wouldn't be surprised if your E500 used that very same chip) and it works fine with the ALSA provided in kernels since the 2.6.10-mm era (actually, I think it worked fine with even earlier kernels, but I am not sure).
