Comment 8 for bug 111145

Another note: Since apparently each port can be either input or output, would it be possible to allow the "mic as output" or "line-in as output" options for this audio chip? In addition, I noticed that ALSA reports some IEC958-related pins, even though my notebook lacks a physical output. However, there are no mixer controls for this nonexistant output.

Another note: once the audio driver loads, PC speaker entirely breaks. I suppose that may be considered a good thing, though.

cat /dev/dsp
(hangs for a while, and then:)cat: /dev/dsp: Input/output error

Another feature that's deliberately hidden in the XP drivers, and entirely removed in the Vista drivers, is Stereo Mix recording. Is there any chance of enabling this in the ALSA drivers? I'd imagine the function may be entirely software, though.
