Hi,

I've uploaded a tarball with the new version of the 'aoa' (apple onboard audio) driver. This version makes use of the new "aoagpio" device available in -current, replacing the ad-hoc GPIO routines of the previous version. Also the debug printfs are disabled. Otherwise it is the same as the previous version.

The tarball: <http://www.telefonica.net/web2/marco2z/fbsd/aoa2.tar.gz> An additional patch for some PowerBooks: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2008-November/003345.html>

The supported devices are Burgundy, Screamer, Tumbler, and Snapper. Thanks to everyone who tested the previous versions!

Some missing stuff (hardware which I don't have, or features I'm not interested in adding at the moment):

- Recording is not supported. - The 'Onyx' codec (found mainly on G5 machines and some PowerBooks) is not supported. It should be easy to add, as it is just another I2S codec. - The 'Daca' found on the clamshell iBooks is not supported. - The Mac Mini should be supported but without volume control (always full-scale output). The Mac Mini does not have hardware with analog volume support. The FreeBSD sound framework supports digital volume control, but the current driver does not enable it if no hardware support is available.

Regards Marco
