  + ALSA sequencer
    - Summary: seq-timer: restrict timer frequencies
      When no default timer frequency has been set, initialize_timer() just
      uses the maximum frequency supported by the timer, which is ridiculously
      high on 96 kHz timers.
      This patch introduces a default frequency of 1000 Hz for this case, and
      makes sure that a frequency set by the user isn't too high.
    - Summary: Fix schedule_timeout usage
      Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of
      set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.  Also use
      human-time conversion functions instead of hard-coded division to avoid
      rounding issues.

  + AZT3328 driver
    - Summary: AZT3328 driver update
      this is now an even much more reworked patch (#3) for my azt3328.c ALSA driver.
      IOW I spent another 4 evenings to get the sequencer timer to work properly
      (my head is still hurting) and do lots of other cleanups.
      Note that despite the extensive sequencer timer additions, the driver object
      is still only 2kB bigger than the previous version, due to those many
      optimizations...
      Changes in version #3:
      - fully working ALSA sequencer timer support for the card's 1024000Hz
        DirectX timer (downscaling adjustable via seqtimer_scaling module param)
      - an insane amount of code optimizations
      - many, many cleanups
      Changes in version #2:
      - FOUND the 1us DirectX timer area (yay!), made the code respect it
      properly
      - renamed some "weird" mixer control names according to ControlNames.txt
      - cleanup unneeded debug messages, reformatting
      - improved I/O register documentation
      - constified many more structs
      Changes in version #1:
      - improves/fixes some fatal playback/recording interaction
      - improves IRQ handler performance (and actually fixes some weird code)
      - coalesces some I/O accesses
      - slightly improves I/O interface documentation
      - improves/fixes logging
      - defines out some less important debug code
      - constifies some data

    - Summary: emu10k1 - Use 31 bit DMA mask for Audigy
      It appears that either the Audigy DMA engine or the Linux kernel cannot
      handle 32 bit DMA with this device.  Problem manifests as noise when
      using more than 2GB of RAM, possibly only on 64 bit machines.
      The OSS driver actually uses a 29 bit DMA mask for both devices, this
      seems like overkill for now.

  + HPE timer driver
    - Summary: timers: add module refcounting for global timers
      Add a module pointer to the timer structure and use it for refcounting
      instead of the card's module pointer to prevent the global timer
      modules (rtctimer and hpetimer) from being removed while in use.
    - Summary: hpetimer: allow non-power-of-two frequencies
      Remove the check for frequencies that are a power of two because the
      kernel now allows any frequency.

      This patch fixes the maestro3 driver to call the snd_m3_assp_init

      RUN_ASSP command, thereby solving the hang after a cold boot.

  + NM256 driver
    - Summary: nm256: reset workaround for Latitude CSx
      The current snd-nm256 driver can cause Dell Latitude CSx laptops to
      lock-up during module (un)load.  I have isolated this to the writes to
      the control port register at offset 0x6cc which were not already
      protected by the existing reset_workaround.
      I tried grouping these writes with the existing reset_workaround
      clause, but that caused the driver to have (un)load problems on the
      Dell Latitude LS laptops.  So, I have implemented a reset_workaround_2
      clause (please feel free to suggest a better name!) to cover this
      situation and added a quirk entry for the CSx laptops.

    - Summary: usb-audio: start submitting URBs in the prepared state
      If we submit all our URBs when a playback stream is started, the first
      hwptr_done update for each URB happens at the same time.  This results
      in an underrun when there isn't enough PCM data available at this
      point for all URBs.
      To avoid this, we begin submitting our URBs earlier (when the stream
      is prepared), with empy packets.  When the stream is started, the
      prepare_playback_urb() call for each URB will be run only when the
      respective URB has completed previously, so the first hwptr_done
      updates will be done nicely staggered.

  + VIA82xx driver

    - Summary: Reduce interrupt latency in sound/pci/via82xx.c
      The change only affects the via823x kind of chips.
      Here the  via8233_pcm_pointer_hw() function
      (named snd_via8233_pcm_pointer() before)
      needed to loop until a non zero position is red from the chip.
      Measurements have shown that more than 200 loops are typically needed on
      an Athlon64.
      As io-reads cost many cycles, those loops sum up huge.
      via8233_pcm_pointer_hw() runs either in interrupt or with interrupts
      disabled. So it introduces significant interrupt latency.
      The patch introduces a calculated position value hwptr_done,
      that is updated by the interrupt routine when a period is completed.
      It is only used, if the 823x chip returns a zero position, which can't
      be interpreted reliably.
      Further optimisation is applied on the 8233 chip's interrupt routine:
      Only the SGD_SHADOW is read, as it contains all infos needed.
      We ommit ~5 more register reads that way.

  + YMFPCI driver

      use 96 kHz would run at half their desired speed.
