Hi all,
here is a list of all changes between 1.0.5a and 1.0.6a release.
The 1.0.6a driver package fixes the /proc problem with loading of the
sequencer client modules.
* alsa-driver
- core
- fixed the detection of x86-64 arch
- 2.6 kernel sync - mostly __user stuff
- This patch removes snd_kcalloc() from the kernel and updates callers to
use the new generic kcalloc().
- Removal and replacement of magic memory allocators and casts
- Clean up of obsolete MODULE_* stuff (core part)
- Removed MODULE_CLASSES() and MODULE_SYNTAX().
- Replaced MODULE_DEVICES() with MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE()
- Clean up the PCI resource allocation.
- Clean up the suspend/resume: save/restore of pci state
- use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of sizeof() computations
- Clean up: removed ifdefs and obsolete codes.
- Unlock BKL in ioctl callback to avoid the long preempt-disabling.
- Clean up DMA buffer allocation routines.
- Fix up sound driver proc-reading interfaces.
- PCM midlevel
- stack usage reduction
- Clean up and optimization of PCM format-specific functions
- Clean up the buffer management in the PCM runtime record
- Fix the mmap via io_remap_page_range() on nm256, rme32 and rme96.
Added SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP_IOMEM to handle this case.
- Clean up the indirect accessing on RME32/RME96 drivers.
- Clean up of indirect PCM data transfer with helper functions.
- snd_pcm_timer_resolution_change() - better precision
- The PCM prepare callback is now non-atomic, so that the driver can
use the functions calling schedule (e.g. kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL).
- Fixed/improved XRUN detection
- don't print XRUN message in the case of draining.
- pointer callback can return SNDRV_PCM_POS_XRUN to notify the middle layer.
- ioctl32 - Added the wrapper for sync_ptr and hwsync ioctls.
- Serialize runtime->status->state access
- PCM OSS emulation
- reduce stack usage
- sequencer
- use separate functions for some ioctls to reduce stack usage
- Clean up Makefiles for the sequencer stuff using reverse selections.
- Added Intel ICH6 HD Audio (Azalia) driver.
- Added Audigy-LS driver
- Added snd-atiixp driver for ATI IXP AC97 modem controllers.
- Moved back pc98-specific stuff again to alsa-driver tree.
- ICE1724
- SPDIF output fixes
- Fixed the volume update on aureon.
- Removed the bogus master volume from aureon.
- Fixed the wrong number of ADCS (not used, though).
- Don't access GPIO high bits on VT1720.
- Fixed the buffer byte alignment for SPDIF and independen PCMs.
- Proper rate constraints according to the I2S/AC-link connection.
- Clean up the private data for PCM callbacks.
- Clean up spinlocks.
- aureon - Added master volume control.
- Added the (experimental) support of Terratec Phase 88.
- Added the support of Pontis MS300 to snd-ice1724 driver.
- Added the support of ZNF3-250 (supposed to be ZNF3-150 compatible).
- CS46xx
- add memory allocation checks in cs46xx_dsp_proc_register_scb_desc()
- reduce stack usage

- Added the support of MCP04.
- Fixed the handling of unknown irqs on ICH5.
- Added an ac97 quirk for ICH/AD1885 mobo.
- Added buggy_irq module parameter to intel8x0 driver.
- intel8x0m
- Added the support of SIS7013 modem.
- via82xx
- Fixed the calculation of the current DMA position at the period boundary.
- Added the ac97_quirk entry for ECS K7VTA3 v8.0 mobo.
- Fixed the check of invalid DMA position.
- Added the quirk entry for ECS L7VMM2 uATX.
- Added the DXS whitelist entry for Acer Inspire 1353LM.
- ali5451
- Fixed the suspend/resume.
- Opti9xx
- Fixed spin deadlocks
- USB audio
- Quattro USB: handle the different endianness of playback and recording
sample data
- handle devices that allow setting but not reading sample rate
- new functions snd_usbmidi_input_stop() and snd_usbmidi_input_start()
