  + amixer
    - amixer - show iec958 status bits in contents command

* alsa-oss
  + Core
    - release 1.0.12rc2
    - Fix LFS support for fopen in alsa-oss
      
      fopen64 is overloaded to call original fopen, not fopen64. This makes
      certain applications fail (vmware working with large disk images).
      
      Attached patch fixes the problem and also makes open64 support more
      straightforward.
      
      From: Constantine Gavrilov <constantine.gavrilov@gmail.com>
    - release 1.0.12


==Detailed changelog between 1.0.14rc3 and 1.0.14rc4 releases==

* alsa-driver
  + Sound Core
    - Add mcore2 and geodegx detection to configure
      
      Added mcore2 and geodegx detection to configure script.
      Also, unknown x86_32 cpus are handled as generic i386.
    - remove log2_compat.h
      
      There are certain obsolete and seldom-used kernels (for example, 2.6.20)
      that have the linux/log2.h header but that do not have the
      is_power_of_2() function.  Move our own is_power_of_2() wrapper to
      adriver.h so that it is picked up even on those kernels.
    - Use external table for kernel-version dependent drivers
      
      mod-deps refers to an external file for checking the kernel-version
      dependent drivers.  $TOP/kconfig-vers is used as default.
      Now it accepts the ksublevel number, such as, 2.6.15, which means
      2.6.15 or later version.
    - Check gfp_t in configure
      
      Check gfp_t in configure script.  RH4 kernels have its own variant of
      gfp_t that sucks for the current version checks.
    - release 1.0.14rc4
  + ALSA Core
    - Add missing exports
      
      Added missing exports of snd_pci_compat_save|restore_state().
    - Fix compilation with older kernels
      
      Fix compilation errors with older kernels due to conflict of
      class_sound types.
    - remove log2_compat.h
      
      There are certain obsolete and seldom-used kernels (for example, 2.6.20)
      that have the linux/log2.h header but that do not have the
      is_power_of_2() function.  Move our own is_power_of_2() wrapper to
      adriver.h so that it is picked up even on those kernels.
    - fix wrappers.c compilation with 2.2/2.4 kernels
      
      Add wrappers.c to export-objs.
    - fix isa_compat.h compilation with 2.2 kernels
      
      Include <linux/device.h> to get the definition of struct device_driver.
    - fix wrappers.c compilation with 2.2 kernels
      
      The interrupt handler wrapper uses kmalloc(), so include slab.h.
    - Added wrappers of spin_lock*nested() for older kernels
    - Fix typos in sound.patch
      
      Fixed typos in sound.patch (sound_class1 -> sound_class).
    - 2.6 kernel sync
    - Check gfp_t in configure
      
      Check gfp_t in configure script.  RH4 kernels have its own variant of
      gfp_t that sucks for the current version checks.
  + SoC PXA2xx Core
    - soc - Fix dependencies in Kconfig files
      
      Fixed dependencies in Kconfig files of soc drivers.
      
    - fix SND_SOC Kconfig
      
      The new ALSA "SOC" support has bogus Kconfig ... it should
      not be presenting anything AT91-related except on AT91,
      or anything PXA-related except on PXA.  Right now, x86
      sees both of those menus, as do all other platforms.
      
      This patch removes needless Kconfig layering, and the
      related inappropriate choice presentation.

    - ad1816a: Fix modprobe snd_mpu401 && modprobe snd_ad1816a
      
         The ad1816a driver fails if the mpu401 driver has been loaded first. This
      patch against linux 2.6.20 fixes it by just ignoring the MPU-401 device in
      that case, so that the rest of the sound card can be used. The ad1816a
      driver already handles the MPU-401 device being unavailable due to lack of
      resources in the same way.

    - ak4114 - Fix possible Oops with callbacks
      
      ak4114 code may trigger Oops when the parameters are changed without
      call of snd_ak4114_build().  Now it checks the existence of kctl
      element, and the workq is triggered after building the necessary
      kcontrols.
      
      Also, did some code clean up.
    - Fix misc bugs in i2c/others/ak4114.c
      
      * correct register for "IEC958 Non-PCM Bitstream", "IEC958 DTS Bitstream"
        to use AK4114_REG_RCS0
      * correct check for control name: if (strstr(kctl->id.name, "Playback"))
      * correct check: if (!chip->init) in snd_ak4114_external_rate
      * added PCM control "IEC958 PPL Lock Status"

    - hda-intel - Probe additional slots only if necessary
      
      Probing the codec slots on ATI controller causes problems on some

      Meanwhile, some laptops (e.g. Gateway) have the codec connection
      only on slot 3, and probing this slot is mandatory for them.

    - ak4114 - Fix possible Oops with callbacks
      
      ak4114 code may trigger Oops when the parameters are changed without
      call of snd_ak4114_build().  Now it checks the existence of kctl
      element, and the workq is triggered after building the necessary
      kcontrols.
      
      Also, did some code clean up.
    - ice1724 - call snd_ak4114_build() in juli
      
      Call snd_ak4114_build() in juli support code to build proper mixer
      elements for SPDIF inputs.
    - ice1724 - Functioning support for Prodigy 192
      
      Fixes:
      --------
      * correct card specific ice1724 initialization
      * working IEC958 output of the card
      * renamed capture controls
      
      
      New features:
      ------------------
      * analog input switch (line-in/mic)
      * optional ak4114 based MI/ODI/O card detection & support: IEC958 input,
        digital input switch (toslink/coax)
      
      Unresolved issues
      -----------------------
      * Analog and digital input enums are listed on playback panel of alsamixer,
        I do not know how to push them onto the capture one.

  + PCM API
    - Improve the sample conversion in plug layer
      
      Improve the sample conversion in plug layer for the sample bits
      reduction.  Use round instead of truncating, which introduces
      more quantization noise.
      
      Original patch by Jean-Marc Valin <jean-marc.valin@usherbrooke.ca>
    - fix a signedness warning
    - String array for default rate plugin list
      
      Change the rate converter type to allow string arrays in addition to
      a string.  When a string array is given, the rate plugin probes each
      string and try to load the converter plugin in the order of the list.
      
      For example, you can set
      	defaults.pcm.rate_converter	[ "samplerate" "linear" ]
      so that samplerate plugin is preferred to linear plugin if it's
      installed.
    - Trivial fix of compile warning
      
      Fix unused variable j.
    - Fix start/stop of multi plugin
      
      The start/stop of sync'ed stream of multi plugin.
      This should make some JACK users with multiple devices happier.
    - More better fix for linked start/stop
      
      Instead of link_fd, more generic callback link_slaves is introduced.
      This is called for linking the slave streams as the source to the
      given master stream.
    - Remove _snd_pcm_link_descriptors() and more comments
      
      Removed the obsoleted _snd_pcm_link_descriptors() from pcm_local.h.
      Added more comments on multi plugin.
    - Define an array of default rate plugins
      
      Define an array of default rate plugins, set speexrate as the first
      entry.  The linear is used as a fallback.
    - Fixed an access to uninitialized variable in pcm_rate.c
      
      Fixed an access to uninitialized variable in pcm_rate.c (in error message).

    - Add --enable-symbolic-functions configure option
      
      Added --enable-symbolic-functions configure option.  This will detect
      and pass -Bsymbolic-functions linker option, which gives you better
      performance and smaller binary size.  Only recent binutils supports
      this option.
  + Async helpers

    - Add missing files for pph
      
      Added missing files for pph speex resampler plugin.
    - pph - do not include <samplerate.h> in rate_speexrate.c
    - Update version of speex resampler plugin
      
      From: Jean-Marc Valin <jean-marc.valin@usherbrooke.ca>
      
      I'm attaching an updated version of my resampler plugin. It fixes a few
      minor issues and it adds support for fixed-point processing (just add
      -DFIXED_POINT to the build). Let me know if there's any problem.
    - Add missing header files for pph
  + PulseAudio -> ALSA plugin
    - Improve parameter constraints in alsa-pulse
      
      Remove parameter constraints where we actually have none. Also, restrict
      total buffer size to 4 MB as current versions of the PulseAudio server
      will refuse streams larger than that.
