Distribution: Debian/unstable Hardware Environment: i386 (AMD TB 900MHz), ES1371 Soundcard Software Environment: gcc-3.3.2, make-3.80, binutils 2.14.90.0.6 Problem Description: Does SND_ENS1371 really depends on GAMEPORT or SOUND_GAMEPORT? I need no joystick but still listen to music. ../sound/pci/Kconfig says: "depends on SND && GAMEPORT" or "depends on SND && SOUND_GAMEPORT" with kernelversion < -test6. Steps to reproduce: don't select GAMEPORT, SND_ENS1371 is not available any more. email me for further infos. Thank you.
Created attachment 971 [details] for my es1371 card only, can't test other hw due to the lack of it.
Same for all the other cards that were gameported (CS46XX in my case)
This issue is already fixed in ALSA CVS, I believe. It will get to Linus's tree eventually.
Created attachment 993 [details] patch #2 while it seems that the dependencies are not needed, i extended the initial patch for other cards too. compiles fine, but still cannot test.
thanks for the patch. An equivalent patch is already in ALSA CVS and waiting for Linus to pull it.
