Also ymfpci.
maestro3 and ymfpci removed from default ALSA_CARDS, although I still can't understand why does it report as unsupported. From alsa-driver's acinclude.m4, you need CONFIG_SOUND, CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_FW_LOADER options enabled - the same as f.e. for emu10k1, which works nicely. Perhaps Diego can explain this mystery to me... Anyway, thanks for the report, and sorry.
After changing from in-kernel alsa drivers to those provided by alsa-driver package, I was able to install this package using default ALSA_CARDS (including maestro3 and ymfpci). I have CONFIG_FW_LOADER enabled. Perhaps alsa-driver should be checking for this kernel option for cards which need it? Diego?
It should indeed, the problem is that I couldn't know all of them offhand :) Feel free to leave them in the defaults, CONFIG_FW_LOADER is now widespread enough not to be an hassle (as ISA is). I'll fix it in a moment.
Fixed, now all the drivers that require CONFIG_FW_LOADER enabled will fail gracefully if it's disabled in-kernel.
(In reply to comment #5) > Fixed, now all the drivers that require CONFIG_FW_LOADER enabled will fail > gracefully if it's disabled in-kernel. So the default setup for ALSA in Gentoo now requires CONFIG_FW_LOADER? I don't have a problem with that, but it should probably be documented in the upgrade notes for when the 1.0.14 ebuilds hit stable. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml#alsa-driver doesn't currently mention the default ALSA_CARDS setting or which configs are required for such.
