We are considering adding ALSA 1.0.15 to the Fedora 8 release. This
would get us up-to-date with the latest audio drivers and fix many
problems with audio drivers not working, or only partially working.
Test kernels for i686 and x86_64 are available at:

Also, kernel 2.6.23.1-36 has the update and is now building.
It would be very helpful if people would test these kernels and reply
to this message with their experiences, so we can see if this update
causes any problems.
On my laptop with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
sound generally works, but with the 2.6.23.1-37.fc8 kernel I still see
occasional sound errors, particularly when playing AVIs e.g.
[AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe-0.003 9249/9249 4% 0% 0.7% 3 0
[AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.
These errors have been occurring for the past four or five kernels, so
the pre-date the ALSA change.
