ICE1712 driver
fixes by Christoph Haderer <chris_web@gmx.at>:
- added the support of DAC/ADC mute switches
- fixed the capture route enum.

ICE1712 driver
Added the support of Aureon 7.1-Universe.

ICE1712 driver
added headphone amplifier switch.
initial patch by Radoslaw 'AstralStorm' Szkodzinski.

RME HDSP driver,RME9652 driver
fixed invalid spin_lock/unlock_irq() in the prepare callback.

CS4236+ driver
Added the new pnp id for an Intel mobo.

ATIIXP driver
- probe only audio codecs.
- use enums instead of embedded numbers.
- added KERN_ERR prefix to the error messages.

PPC PMAC driver,PPC Tumbler driver
Giuliano Pochini <pochini@shiny.it>:
fixed the return value of interrupt handlers.

PCM Midlevel
fixed the buffer id confliction in the case of CONTINUOUS or ISA buffers.

USB generic driver
fix typo

USB generic driver
Roland UA-1000 support

AC97 Codec Core
STAC9758: stereo mutes, jack configuration

PARISC Harmony driver
- fixed the buffer allocation with the new API.
- optimized the rate and format setting.
- removed redundant call of buffer release.
- removed invalid __devinit prefix.

Documentation,ICE1724 driver,ICE1712 driver
- added model module option to specify board model to snd-ice1712 and snd-ice1724
  drivers.
- removed ez8 option from ice1724.  this can be specified as 'model=ez8' option.
- rewritten some struct init in C99 style.
- function for accessing i2c of ice1724 (for future use).

Sound Core PDAudioCF driver
- fixed the changed function decleration.
- fixed the return value from cast check.

VIA82xx driver
renamed the elements of 'input source select' control to avoid confusion.

formerly used words 'Line' and 'Mic', which have nothing to do with
the actual connections.

Documentation,CMIPCI driver
make soft_ac3 option conditional again.

this will make it possible for old chips to feed the IEC958 data
without conversion (sometimes useful, e.g. for apps using mmap).

Sound Core PDAudioCF driver
Updated interrupt function to 2.6 irq API

EMU10K1/EMU10K2 driver
Credits for SB Live (c) 2003

USB generic driver
(Alan Stern) use altsetting number instead of index in messages

Documentation
added the document about Audigy mixer implementation by Peter Zubaj.
it is not target to users, rather to developers.

ATIIXP driver
- fixed the direct SPDIF playback mode.  (still experimental)
- use the different driver id name for the direct spdif mode, so that
  alsa-lib can read another corresponding configuration.

Documentation,CMIPCI driver
dropped the software encoding of AC3 stream in the driver.
this is done now in alsa-lib.
soft_ac3 module option is kept for backward compatibility but not
referred at all.

Documentation,NM256 driver
- added a blacklist to avoid the possible hang-up at module loading.
- added notes about the hang-up problem to ALSA-Configuration.txt.

PCM Midlevel
fixed the bit width of IEC958_SUBFRAME_* formats from 24 to 32.

VIA82xx driver
fixed again the DXS entry for m680x to 48k-fixed rate.

ALSA<-OSS emulation
don't return negative byte count from GET[IO]PTR ioctl

ICE1712 driver
fix Hoontech DSP* box configuration

Documentation
- fixed some obsolete descriptions and typos.
- a bit more detailed description about addition of the new driver.

SA11xx UDA1341 driver,UDA1341
- clean up PM codes using the new PM callback functions.

ALSA Core
- added the generic PM callback registration.
- rewritten ISA callbacks to use the new one.

ES1968 driver
- set ACPI D3 at suspend.
- fixed the interrupt disabling at shutdown.
- enabled PM for compaq Armada.

AC97 Codec Core
try to mute and power down in the destructor (to shut up noises).

CS4231 driver
add missing closing brace

RME HDSP driver
HDSP9632 has also firmware version 0x97

Documentation,EMU10K1/EMU10K2 driver
Initial attempt to add support for SB Live 5.1 (c) 2003

VIA82xx driver
added DXS whitelist for (eMachines) m680x.

CS4231 driver
checks the PCM substream pointers to fix oops/panic in the interrupt
handler.

Intel8x0 driver
check that period interrupt really has occured;
clear only those interrupts that have been handled

ALSA<-OSS emulation,ALSA sequencer,ALSA<-OSS sequencer,OPL4
make some module parameters sysfs-writable, where appropriate

PARISC Harmony driver
fixed compilation - using struct parisc_device for DMA allocation.
