Description Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I put the patch in my devspace because it's 1.5M uncompressed
http://dev.gentoo.org/~eradicator/2.6.7-alsa-ioctl32.patch.bz2

This patch updates the version of alsa included in the 2.6.7 kernel to match that of alsa-driver-1.0.7 with patches to allow snd-ioctl32 to function on sparc  (without it, many 32bit ioctls will result in system lockup).  This was easier than just backporting my patches as the fixed ioctl32 uses functionality added to alsa after the version included with 2.6.7.

sparc still uses 2.6.7 as later kernels have problems on certain sparc hardware, so please get this into 2.6.7-r15 ASAP

I am getting rejects when applying to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r14, could you please fix?

Also I get this error, which is odd:
 * Applying 4500_alsa-1.0.7.patch (-p0+)...
patch: pch.c:614: intuit_diff_type: Assertion `i0 != NONE' failed.        [ !! ]

It applies against vanilla-2.6.7 and completely replaces the old sound/ and include/sound/ directories except for sound/oss ... The alsa hunks in 1120-CAN-2004-0415.patch should be removed...  would you prefer that I give you a patch against 2.6.7-r14 (that't needlessly bloating the patchset, but if it's easier for you, I will... just let me know...)

this should let the alsa patch apply cleanly now
