Alsa blues (Part II)

It's almost a month now since rc3 was out and I was very excited about it. I got hold of an ebuild from flameeyes's overlay. I guess it's the same one that's now incorporated to the official tree. Everything went so fine and clean. The compilation, running alsaconf that detects the sound card and voila! alsamixer shows two external capture channels, left and right, as if my long awaited dream of getting capture work was about to come true! My dreams soon got shattered and I got deaf when I tried playing music. No sound :((or I had gone deaf) Apparently, the driver fails to probe for the right codecs. Everything works fine, the graph on amarok dances happily, the only thing missing is the SOUND waves.

I was so pissed off, I didn't even file a bug report. I know, I should have done it but I didn't. I am just waiting for the final release and hoping things get better.

Amen

PS: If you run the same card (MCP 51 rev a2), please write about your experiences in the comments so that I know, I haven't missed out on something important =)
