Tha basic support is in kernel
Nokia770-22:~# cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.11rc2 (Wed Jan 04 
08:57:20 2006 UTC).
and with the rest in modules I think it is the same functionality as it 
was in IT2005 (i.e almost none). What exactly did work in IT2005 out of 
box? I thought alsa is not working yet for the internal audio and people 
should use gstreamer or esd deamon for that as the audio chip is used 
only by DSP (via gstreamer) directly. Am I wrong? Was there really alsa 
to DSP audio driver in kernel in IT2005?
