17 It is certainly related to ALSA somehow, but what updates are you
18 thinking of? I doubt it is the last updates, since the change was
19 between 2.6.14.7 and 2.6.15, which was a while ago. I have just looked
20 at the diff between 2.6.14.7 and 2.6.15. I did not see anything obvious,
21 but it is huge, so I may have missed something.
22
23 I have built a couple of kernels and see that it works fine when I boot
24 with 2.6.14.7 or earlier and fails when I boot 2.6.15 or later.
