Suggested ebuild

Initial ebuild.

This ebuild only works on x86 and contains an ugly hack with ARCH=i386 as
kernel module does not compile otherwise (Makefile sees ARCH=x86 and thus does
not find the right kernel includes)

Revision 9 is because it contains Kor Nielsen's 9th patch-revision (adding
support for 2.6 kernels, udev and mmap) See also Bug #96450

I suggest this to be added to sys-libs category.

Patch that fixes a naming-issue of kernel 2.6.12-gitX and newer in kfusd.c

As of 2.6.12-gitX they changed the name of some functions so kfusd ain't
working anymore! With this patch it works at my PC.

Patch that fixes a naming-issue of kernel >=2.6.12

jannis' patch didn't apply properly, so I cleaned it up.

udev rules for creation of the kfusd device nodes

I really hope the fusd ebuild can get some love and be accepted in the main
tree. Same goes for oss2jack, these projects really help those that have
soundcards with poor driver support.

There's a set_arch_to_kernel function in one of the eclasses. Can you use this?

media-sound/fusd-1.10-r11.ebuild

This ebuild installs fusd-kor-1.10-11. It doesn't need any patches since
everything has been fixed in the source (nice ^^).
The ebuild ain't really pretty but works on two of my systems.

kfusd compile cleanly against gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r2

I don't know what other kernel versions this patch will work on. It's a diff
from the normal kfusd/kfusd.c against the new one here:
