a) the AESS patches by Peter we are carrying along did no longer compile.
Reason is that some members of the dai_link struct have been replaced by pointers to other structs. The macros used to initialize them can no longer be used.
Therefore I have simply disabled the offending code lines.
Note: this is not yet fixed in the letux/pyra-minimal tree.
Generally we need someone who looks at this code pile and brings them into a better shape. Ideally it would be made working incl. AESS firmware load and pushed upstream :)
What is the rationale for the AESS patches in Letux? Does Linux currently have no AESS support, or do these patches modify existing Linux AESS support? If the latter, are the AESS patches in Letux fixing bugs or adding features?
If the former (no existing AESS support in Linux), then does the hardware targeted by Letux not have audio capabilities (alternative to AESS) for which there is existing support in Linux?
Thanks.
