* ALSA: hda - Add description of bdl_pos_adj optionTakashi Iwai2008-06-13
| | | | | | | | Added a brief description of the new bdl_pos_adj option to ALSA-Configuration.txt. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
* ALSA: hda - remove position_fix=3Takashi Iwai2008-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | position_fix=3 is the option to correct the DMA position with the FIFO size. But, it never worked correctly, and we have now more other workarounds for the DMA position fixes. Thus better to remove it. Also, change POS_FIX_NONE to POS_FIX_LPIB to represent its real role better. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
* [ALSA] Improve the slots option handlingTakashi Iwai2008-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix and improve the slots option handling. The sound core tries to find the slot with the given module name first and assign if it's still available. If all pre-given slots are unavailable, then try to find another free slot. Also, when a module name begins with '!', it means the negative match: the slot will be given for any modules but that one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when they are available; I believe this is necessary for filesystem integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage. An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery- backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...) can always turn it back off again. SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now. Also document the mount option while we're at it.
