RE: [alsa-devel] [PATCH]Support MCP89 and GT21x hdmi audio

[Wei Ni]

Hi, Takashi
1. Yes, it can works for all Nvidia controller.
2. The hda_eld.o doesn't export any symbols.
I tried to put hda_eld.o to snd-had-codec-*, and remove had_eldo.o
from snd-had-codec-intelhdmi-objs, but it will build error. It need
to modify hda_eld.c to export symbols, it will add many changes.

Thanks
Wei.

Thanks.  Review comments below:

Are you sure that this works for all Nvidia controller chips including
the old nForce chipset?

This is buggy.  You cannot create multiple modules containing the
same *.o file that exports symbols.

Instead, put hda_eld.o to snd-hda-codec-* (currently commented out),
and remove hda_eld.o from snd-hda-codec-intelhdmi-objs.
