hello! i have been using a spea mediafx soundcard for quite some time now but recently faced a problem configuring the card. the card has a mic/line input that can be switched between mic mode (mono, 20db preamplification) and line mode (stereo, no preamp). since i recently aquired a tv-card i wanted to use the mic/line input for the tv-card. unfortunately there is no option for switching modes. i do not know if other cards using the ensoniq soundscape chipset have this feature and if this is of interest for a greater audience, but i thought i would rather like having a modified sscape kernel (or at least a switch applicable when using sscape as a module). since i did not find any information about this problem on the web i started reverse-engineering the dos ssinit.exe program of my own. i think i managed to find out the required values and registers program the soundcard to either mode and it works fine for me with a slightly modified sscape.c. but i also know that the way i modified sscape.c would not satisfy all users since the module is for both the old-fashioned sscape cards and the newer plug-and-play cards that maybe should not be programmed that way. the things i would like to know 1) is there anybody else using/having a soundscape card that has the switchable input and who would test my modification 2) would it be worth modifying sscape.c so that other people might set their cards to whatever they would prefer (i.e. do you think other there might be others using this card anyway) 3) how would/should i change the driver (only adding an optional switch when used as a module or other suggestions) 4) who should i talk to about changing or maybe submitting a modified sscape module i was unable to find out if this module was actively maintained so i wrote to the list. by the way, i am using the suse-modified kernel 2.2.16 greets seb - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
