Via8233 Onboard Sound Card (RE: [PATCH 2.4.20] Via 8233 Sound Support)

[Adam Luter]

This in regards to a message back in December.

I thought I'd add that the patch (which adds the via 8233 chipset to
the list of valid chipsets for the via82cxxx audio module) does not
work on my system.

Not that important for me, since I have a spare "SB Live!" hanging
around.  But I thought maybe it would be helpful to report.
Unfortunately I don't know what details to report!  Just that it
didn't work and I get this error message (which, looking at the source
means some sort of write error to the card, er, chip):

via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -512

I'm using a cheap ECS board (though I'd have to look harder to know
the model) if that helps.  Let me know! :)

p.s. please CC, I'm not crazy enough to subscribe to this list (again!).

Thats a misleading non error path. The one problem it has right nwo is
that it fails to work with gnome's esd audio subsystem but works with
everything else. I don't know why and I'm not yet motivated to fix it
since my views on esd are mostly unprintable.
