I checked the mailing list archive, and I do not see any answer
regarding Mika's alsa patch for alsa and the 770.

Since Nokia released the 2.0 beta for 770, I hoped Nokia would have
ALSA support enabled, but it seems not.

So I went ahead and rebuilt the Nokia 2.6.16-omap1 kernel with Mika's
ALSA patch
(http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/linux-omap-open-source/2006-April/006868.html),

installed the kernel, and booted.  Low and behold the OMAP_ALSA card
appears in /proc/asound/cards on the 770!

After this, I build the libasound2 package in scratchbox (using ubuntu
breezy package) and alsa-utils.   libasound2 built and installed ok on
the 770.  alsa-utils would build, but not install because of package
dependencies.   So anyway, I just copied the aplay binary to the
770.   So, it seems to play some wav files, but not at the correct
speed; i.e. a 44100 Hz .wav file sounds very slow on the 770.   I
found a 22 KHz wav and it sounded almost right.   So I'm guessing the
770 is playing at 16KHz.  

Can any Nokia people comment, will we have ALSA in 2.0?   I for one
would be really happy to see it.
