I backed out all the 2.1.76-->2.1.77 changes to files in
linux/drivers/sound, and everything now works as it's supposed to from
my perspective.
New subject:
Without meaning to pick on any one person in particular, I note with some
frustration that folks are getting worse about gratuitously changing the
format/coding style of source modules they are maintaining that they
inherit from a previous author. Some changes are for the better and I
don't count such changes as gratuitous. On the other hand, changes such
as the following:
-static int
-func_name(arg0, arg1, ...)
+static int func_name(arg0, arg1, ...)
*are* gratuitous and make it more difficult to search for and find the
beginning of a particular function in the code.
Sorry to come off as a cranky old man. I'm really a cranky young man :-).
The only point I really wanted to make is that some coding standards are
worth following.
