Description QinXie 2008-09-03 04:54:31 UTC
Sometime, vendor just provide the audio codec info but not the controller name or model name in the spec. In this case, the only way to verify hardware is to ask vendor, because no audio codec info is logged by HTS now.
How about add codec info into the test output? So that, we can short the review time and avoid the risk of vendor giving us the wrong message. 

Maybe these two files can be used:
tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
head -2 /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0
