Linux sound card drivers

[crazii]

Thanks! Is there a full list of newly supported cards? I can see ALS, X-Fi, Trident, ESS Maestro (probably Allegro too?) With this code maybe is it more easy to port more drivers from Linux, maybe I can test with my Solo-1 later.

Is there a full list of newly supported cards?

I see also CMI8788. Also some EMU10K1X? It's likely there's more...

@jiyunomegami, can you utilize the Linux drivers to bring support for:

• HDMI/DisplayPort HDA - #18
• Bluetooth audio - #39 (together with USBDDOS)
• USB audio (together with USBDDOS)
• MIPI Soundwire
• Dmic

Here is the list of supported cards:

• sc_als4000: ALS4000
• sc_emu10k1x: EMU10K1X (Dell SB0200)
• sc_ctxfi: X-Fi (both EMU20K1 and EMU20K2)
• sc_oxygen: OXYGEN(CMI8788) Only tested with Asus Xonar DG
• sc_allegro: ESS Allegro-1 (ES1988S/ES1989S) The Linux driver is called maestro3
• sc_trident: Trident 4D Wave

I also started work on the Envy24 (VIA Ice1712) driver but I haven't had time to test it, so it is not included.

The Solo-1 driver is called es1938 (sound/pci/es1938.c) if anyone wants to port it.

These are all PCI/PCIe card drivers from the linux/sound/pci directory. They won't help with usb, bluetooth, or HDMI. However, the included Linux headers might be of use when porting usb and bluetooth drivers.

OK, cool. I'll add it to the readme and changelog later.

I added a CHANGELOG, you may want to check it in case anything is missed or unclear. the READE.md is changed too, and you can add anything missing too.

also there's an README.txt added to ship with the binaries, some cmdline options might need more detail too.
