Re: Mixer support on the iBook2

I have gotten the sound on my iBook2 working (via the files on
http:/www.hadess.net/files/ppc/ibook2/), and I have some questions...

Please use the dmasound.tar.gz , it's a better driver (anton2 on 
#mklinux fixed that 8 days ago), and I'm supposed to clean it up for 
integration in BenH's tree (if he and Iain think that it's clean 
enough). Or maybe Olaf will just be sick of waiting and do it himself ;)

That's what I'm using.  It works beautifully (thanks!), but the volume
control is too coarse-grained to be useful for much...

In any mixer program I can find, the volume steps on the iBook2 are
simply too large.  The sound card goes from muted to too loud to use
through earphones in one step of the slider.  Is this a limitation of
the hardware, the driver architecture, or what?  Or is it too early to
be asking?  ;-)

The driver...

To clear up some confusion I have here ...  Are you saying it's a
limitation of the driver (in which case I'm more than happy to wait
for it to be fixed as I know *nothing* about DSP or sound hardware) or
that I need to snag the driver?
