hwdep* is a hardware-specific device. The driver can use it freely for purposes that aren't covered by standard API (PCM, control, etc).
This mean there is no allocation to one of the alsa cards/devices as e.g. for pcmC0D4p or is there the same scheme (hwC0D0 --> alsa.card = 0 ; alsa.device = 0)? Has the device a special alsa class (as e.g. in pcm_class in sysfs for pcm devices). (In reply to comment #7)
what about adding devices that don't fit the already implemented schemes as "unknown $class device" in general? We may need the fs ACLs although hal doesn't know exactly what the device is about.
IMO this make no sence. If we add information to HAL for each device we get from udev we fill HAL with more useless than useful information. We should only handle devices we know or we need to add them to the related scheme as we do now for hw* -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
