Nice! Typically, the developers don't like zipped attachments. Would you create a patch for these files instead? In the HAIKU_TOP directory, you could use

svn add src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/ali5451
svn diff src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/ali5451 > ~/driver-ali5451.patch

and congrats on your first contribution!

Maybe this could also work for the SiS 7018 and Trident DX/NX cards? (like ​Siarzhuk Zharski's legacy audio driver?).

No, the package is fine as is for addition.

Yes, those are similar, but there are some differences. In fact I used Trident's documentation to some degree, because of lack of documentation for ALI. I'll look into that, but then I'd need some assistance in testing/debugging :)

My sis7018 is not abandoned - it is just pending behind other. :-( I have hacked my sources for sis7018 some months ago, but the code is still far away from perfection and need polishing for other chip types. It is available here: ​http://siarzhuk.dyndns.org/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/cvsroot/sis7018/ Anyway it already works well for my sis7018 hardware.

Other difference is coding style - my drivers use c++ instead of c.

Committed in hrev34452. Just one thing: Would it be possible to reuse the ac97 common code instead of the home brewed code ?

Do we have plans to "module-arize" AC97 common code in the future? ;-)

Yeah, I'll do it.

Switching to use ac97 common code module.

Thanks! Applied in hrev34484 and hrev34485.
