[oi-dev] 148b Audio Issues

[Ken Gunderson]

Howdy:

No audio here on 148b.  I note a couple bugs filed in Redmine, but not
listed as show stoppers for 151.  Shouldn't this be on the radar for 151
based release or am I missing something?

Sporting two different audio devices on this Tyan K8E based test rig:

1) AC97 nVidia onboard

a) previously worked w/o problem on Open/Solaris.
b) wants to use audio810 driver
c) plays test sound via Multimedia Systems Selector
d) played a cd via Sound Juicer once, but otherwise have been unable to
repeat.
e) scanpci output:

2) Audiotrak Prodigy HD.  Envy24 based PCI add in card.  

a) Never worked on any previous Open/Solaris
b) wants to use audiohd driver
c) does not play test sound via Multimedia Systems Selector
d) but apparently might should work per hcl wiki note pertaining to
generic Envy24.
e) scanpci output:

  STATUS    0x0210  COMMAND 0x0005
  CLASS     0x04 0x01 0x00  REVISION 0x01
  BIST      0x00  HEADER 0x00  LATENCY 0x20  CACHE 0x00

That the onboard succeeds in playing test sound but I cannot get audio
playback from neither Rhythmbox, Totem, or Juicer seems odd.

The Audiotrak is a relatively high grade two channel card targeting more
"audiophile" rather than gamer type end user.  I'd be willing put on
loan to US based driver developer if it would help polish up support for
Envy24 based cards. I also have another Envy24 based card (Chaintech).
