Of course. I thought I would first see if I could get my TV tuner working with ALSA and then proceed to put PulseAudio back into the mix. I am not one of those who has given up on PulseAudio.

I have the latest kernel source code + git here and could use some suggestions on where to start. I have just begun to look at kernel code so I am sure my way will be tortuous, however, I am willing to give it a try -- reading the comments and documentation at least. To save me some fruitless time, would you suggest I look at the 'tuner' driver, cx23885, cx23887, cx25840 or something else? Maybe at the motherboard sound chips? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 22.3.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
