Comment 28 for bug 344588

...implement a new model "6stack-dig-fronthp"... how hard can it be...

I started looking through my kernel's source at sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c... I don't think I'm able to make those modifications. At least, not without lots of trial and error, and spending crazy amounts of time trying. I haven't attained the rank of Kernel Hacker just yet. :)

I appreciate your help, but don't fully understand the situation. Why does WINE need to get multistream functionality working, when a model in ALSA with that support doesn't appear to exist? I would have figured nobody could use such functionality yet, so it wouldn't be useful for WINE to try. UT3 works, and personally I've never actually used the front HP port before looking at this bug either - 3.5mm headphones plug into the receiver.

I would be very happy to test any patches though, if you feel up to it.
