So, um... Is Crystal SoundFusion CS4624 support working yet?
I have a Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II (replaced my AWE64). It wasn't clear if the OSS modules included with kernel 2.2.19 supported it, so I decided to give ALSA a try. I downloaded and installed ALSA 0.5 some time ago. While the modules detected my card and configured themselves just fine, I got no sound out of the speakers. (Yes, I used alsamixer to turn up the volume on the appropriate channels.)
Someone on the alsa-user mailing list suggested it might have something to do with the "power management" on the newer chip, and to try ALSA 0.9.something (alpha-ware), which has code to handle it. So I did. It compiled, installed, detected my card, and configured itself just fine. alsamixer opens and lets me fool with sliders without trouble. Even the OSS compatibility modules come up fine. But I still can't hear anything.
I haven't touched it since then, as I've been consumed by other distractions. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. But I'm at a complete loss as to what it might be.

Si, no, plans? Anyone know? I hope they don't all wait for 2.6.
