[Alsa-user] Envy24HT, AK4588 codec support

[Ron C. <ron...@re...>]

Greetings everyone.

First, I apologize if this is posted to the wrong list.  If another list
is more appropriate (such as devel) I can send it to that list.

I represent a digital media company that uses the GNU/Linux operating
system in its products.  Our next generation audio server will use a
custom-engineered sound card that is similar to the M-Audio Revolution
7.1.  This card will use the Envy24HT, but instead of using the
AK4381/AK4355 DACs, it will use the AK4588 codec.  It doesn't appear
that this (the codec) is currently supported in the ALSA drivers.

We are looking to have support for this added to the ALSA drivers.  We
are hoping that we can interest some experienced kernel driver hackers
to add support for this codec, either by modifying something like the
existing revo71 and ak4xxx-adda drivers, or write a new driver (which
would probably use lots of existing code).

The hardware is undergoing final design review, and we should have
working prototypes to test in four to eight weeks.

Anyone who is interested in this project should contact me.  Thank you
for your time.

-Ron
