Hi,

due to audio playback problems with the nvaudio driver, I've looked
deeper into the ALSA ac97 support.

The only problem I found was the ac97 mixer initialization, which I
successfully commented out (hehe ;), and now audio support seems to work
pretty well (I tested mplayer, scummvm and sdlquake). Appended is a
patch for alsa 0.9.0rc3, and here is the installation instruction:

# rmmod nvaudio
# wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3.tar.bz2
# tar xjf alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3.tar.bz2
# cd alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3
# patch -sp1 < ../alsa-driver-0.9.0rc3-xbox.diff
# ./configure --with-isapnp=no --with-oss=yes --with-cards=intel8x0
# make install
# modprobe snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss

(You might still need alsa-lib, -utils and -tools.)

This is a quick and dirty hack and I expect that any mixer access will
do horrible things to you and your Xbox, so I don't take responsibility
for anything you do with this code.

Feedback is appreciated.

regards,
Georg
