hi,
so i have managed to produce a driver that loads and, per hallab, seems to output sound.
unfortunately i do not have any external sound devices that can power themselves, as i have another HDAV1.3 deluxe (lol) in my PC that's rigged up to my marantz amplifier and such.
i tried using a red/white -> female stereo cable, followed by plugging my headphones into this, but i don't think this would work because the card's audio outputs do not deliver power.
everything looks good. the controls are (as you would expect) limited for such a feature-rich card. however the spdif in/out should work via mute, as should the analog out via system controls. i ran it overnight with HALLAB and the stats look great (not just good). the SPDIF output took precedence over the analog out, but even then an 80KHz sampling rate while the SPDIF holds steady at the target is good.

the controls can be somewhat laggy if you use a keyboard with a volume wheel (i have a das keyboard) and this is a work in progress.
this is a family of cards supported by Clemens' alsa driver ("oxygen"), which is what i used as the foundation. he's my hero for undertaking the task of writing such a fantastic driver for linux. there is no way i can replicate his feat because the APPUL API is far more limited when it comes to mixers/controls. i am, however, not ruling out the creation of a user client volume control application.
before i formally solicit testers, is a self-signed kext sufficient for others to test? or must i get a developers license so that others can test the binary i build on my machine?
i would really like it if someone else had two macs so they could share the debug out via fwkpfv while running the card. i have, of course, done this on my machine quite a bit.
i want to make sure every card in the family (DG, D2, D2X, DS, STX, STX2, ST, HDAV1.3 DELUXE, HDAV SLIM, claro, meridian, etc) will work.
thanks in advance.
