[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#597550: Packaging the latest alsa-driver version

[José Luis Segura Lucas]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: sid

On the latest alsa-base package I can't get working an Nvidia Ion HDMI sound
card.

It appears to be detected, but no sound devices are listed with aplay -l.

I tried compiling alsa-driver from upstream snapshot sources and it appears to
work, I have some Nvidia-HDMI related sound devices on my aplay -l output.

It will be wonderful if you can package the latest snapshot from upstream on
experimental or, maybe, unstable.

P.S. If there is a reason for not packaging the Nvidia-Ion support on Debian,
let me know and close this wish.

Regards
