           Summary: [PATCH] NVIDIA GPU audio-over-HDMI: Patch required to
                    support recent GPUs
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.4
           Version: Factory
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Kernel
        AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: ddadap@nvidia.com
         QAContact: qa@suse.de

The kernel ALSA driver needs a patch applied to make audio-over-HDMI operate
correctly on most supported GPUs.

The exact patch is available at
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=4289bc9c818ece...

It'd be great if this patch could be included in the standard OpenSUSE
kernel(s) for any/all recent or supported distro versions.

Note 1: I believe only the nvidia driver (not nv nor nouveau) support setting
up audio-over-HDMI.

Note 2: Very recent GPUs (Fermi class) are not yet supported by the driver. A
second patch will be forthcoming for this at some point in time, but we have to
validate operation under Linux before releasing this.
