Sascha,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

I tried using the simple-audio-card, but it doesn't present me with an
audio card.  I don't get errors, but I don't get a card either.  Can
you point me to an example where someone did this?  I added debug code
to the simple-audio-card and I migrated an existing card, and I see
the debug code for the wm8962 CODEC, but not the micfil.  The Micfil
works just fine with the imx-audio-card, but I don't mind using the
simple-audio-card if it makes more sense.
