Other features like recording, support for all hardware mixers, MIDI and all other features the envy24 chips provide are not implemented. Adding one of those features after each other -- at least for those chips where Konstantin collected the datasheets -- should be easy. It is not that time consuming, but Konstantin can not spend time for them. Anyone interested in some of those features is encouraged to have a look at the datasheets and to send some patches." These limitations, particularly the lack of recording, should be mentioned in the snd_envy24 man page. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
