	The first part of the patch (for maestro.c) didn't apply cleanly for
me, so I ended up doing it by hand.

	Unfortunately this didn't work for mine (Dell Inspiron 7500).  How to
I find out the GPIO values that make windows work?  I'm open to trying
what the Linux driver does.  Mind you my C programing skills are
pretty much useless, but I'm willing to try things out :-)

	Thanks again to the people working on this, it's nice to have sound
working.
