Comment 85 for bug 337314

I'm using Arch Linux and have a Macbook Pro 5.1.. I was trying to get your patch working for the whole day... (since alsa-driver comes with kernel26 package in Arch Linux) any way, i was told to compile the modules instead of compiling the whole kernel which saved me loads of trouble..

Your patch seems to work fine for me.. But there seems to be some stuff that need to be polished:

1) i don't notice the difference btw. 2 and 6 channels

2) adjusting master, pcm levels are acting weirdly. if i lower master i can't hear anything when it's near some value of %50.. same for pcm..

3) sound splutters when too high which i don't remember in OS X..

but your work made my day (today is my birthday btw) as a great present.. i've deleted OS X completely from my computer and am trying to configure non-working stuff.. thank you guys!
