From 0d204c34e85d1d63e5fdd3e3192747daf0ee7ec1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:51:11 -0200 Subject: thinkpad-acpi: basic ALSA mixer support (v2) Add the basic ALSA mixer functionality. The mixer is event-driven, and will work fine on IBM ThinkPads. I expect Lenovo ThinkPads will cause some trouble with the event interface. Heavily based on work by Lorne Applebaum and ideas from Matthew Garrett .
