Apparently the ice1720 driver uses mixer control names that are very different from the names everybody else uses and there is not really a reason for it as far as I can see. Given that PulseAudio depends on established names for mixer elements to make sense of them, I'd hence like to ask the mixer element names to be renamed to more common names. More specifically what I have in mind goes something like this: "PCM" → "Front" (since it apparently only controls FL and FR, nothing else) "PCM Center" → "Center" "PCM LFE" → "LFE" "PCM Rear" → "Rear" "PCM Side" → "Side" Alternatively, PA could learn about these mixer names. But if we do this I'd like to know a really good reason why the driver uses those weird names.
ACK. All the other subdrivers seem to be named sensibly... Fixing now.
(In reply to comment #1) > ACK. All the other subdrivers seem to be named sensibly... Fixing now. Renamed in F-12 CVS for now, will be in the next build. regards, Kyle
I put item "unify and define the real meaning of the control names" to my TODO list for the ALSA driver.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug was fixed in an F-12 errata kernel, but the patch never made it into the F-13 CVS branch (or any other), so the rename never happened on any kernel other than F-12. Google doesn't show a submission of the patch upstream either, but I might have missed that. Apparently this is still causing problems for people in F-15 (see bug 499435). Do we want to bring the patch back and push it to the ALSA devs?
Could you attach the patch from F12?
Created attachment 520846 [details] Patch from kernel-2.6.32.26-175.fc12 Here you go.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
