Please update Alsa to v1.0.16 final.

[Ken Phillis Jr]

summary states it all, the whole package for ALSA is now with v1.0.16, and out of the release candidate stages.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

Please do it!
I installed RC2 yesterday and finally i have sound on my laptop.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

alsa-driver 1.0.16rc2 + hg is already in hardy. There are quite a few patches beyond 1.0.16 that will be in hardy's final alsa-driver package. Just sit tight.

[Ken Phillis Jr (kphillisjr)]

I know, except for i am actually doing this so i can request that it be backported to Gutsy, and hopefully after that, possibly feisty.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

It makes more sense to file bugs against the respective linux-backports-modules\* source packages, Ken.

[SyXbiT (syxbit)]

backport to feisty?
anyone with a laptop that requires a new version of ALSA will probably also require a new kernel, so they'll need gutsy/hardy anyway

[Ken Phillis Jr (kphillisjr)]

True, however gutsy needs an update since it's on a fairly old release, and i was aiming to request enough to help, because not all users of ubuntu will update to version 8.04 until their graphics drivers are confirmed to work, like the Radeon drivers.

Can the Ubuntu devs make sure Hardy has the recent patch for the AD1988 codec as detailed here:
