Comment 47 for bug 1236965

"you have to follow up with Takashi Iwai if you want support of external 5.1/7.1"

Okay -- but help me understand what you think I should do next. See my questions in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1236965/comments/38

You have give me links to several patchfiles, and suggested I compile my own alsa driver.
Is that still what I should try now? Is there a howto which explains the steps to take?

I can see in comment#45 you are showing me an enum from some C code... but where should I put it?

Thanks for your patience. I'm trying to catch up with where you are telling me to go. :-)
