Bug#288005: acknowledged by developer (Re: [Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#288005: alsa-base: Unable to use cs4237b sound card with alsa)

[Alexander Toresson]

I may have identified the problem. At:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/alsa/alsa-kernel/isa/cs423x/cs4236.c?rev=1.47&view=markup

I can see these lines:

	/* Crystal Semiconductors CS4237B */
	{ .id = "CSC4637", .devs = { { "CSC0000" }, { "CSC0010" }, { "CSC0003" } } },

They correspond to my sound card. Well, this or the Crystal 3D.
The thing is, the CSC0000 and CSC0010 pnp 'entries' (don't know what
they are called), do exist in my lspnp listing. CSC0003 don't.
As I understand it (I haven't found info about it), devices are
identified by checking if the corresponding entries are in the pnp
listing. If that is the case, well, here's
the problem.
