The problem is mostly that you are compiling the driver as a static
kernel component. The driver will *only* work when used as one of
Alan's new "sound modules". Its a little misleading, because there is
support in some of the dev_table files to make it appear as if static
usage will work, but its wrong. The current version (yes, its moved on
already) makes it quite clear that it can only be compiled as a module.
I could see no possible reason to support static inclusion of the
driver given the work Alan has done on this stuff. Choose "Sound
Modules" during configuration, and ask for the WaveFront driver as a
module. Then use the docs in Documentation/sound to set up
/etc/conf.modules, and then modprobe.
Also, please note two things: (1) the driver has not been tried on a
Maui yet, only the Tropez+. The documentation I worked from implies
that it should work fine, but I'd love to get feedback on your
experiences. (2) If you're running on a CPU faster than a 486/66, the
version you have (probably) won't work. A patch for this will be
appearing in the near future (next 24 hours, once its been tested by
some other people).
Please let me know if I can provide more specific help.
