Wow... that guy remembers a lot (very accurately) from the top of his
head. :)
Brent seems interested in handing off this code to someone else as well
(or at least having someone work on it) since he's busy. In the case of
DBRI, I only care about the audio portion of the code since:
a) I don't have an ISDN line to test with, and
b) I have a cablemodem, so ISDN makes no sense for me anyways.
Speaking of which, I have a small patch to the dbri audio driver if it
interests anyone, in http://www.suse.com/~uzi/sparc/ ... it allows
modification of the active output port(s) (speaker/headphones/lineout),
as well as more sensible volume settings. This patch is already in the
vger sparclinux tree for both 2.2.18pre and 2.4.0-testX ...
