Soundblaster Extigy

[Derek Young]

I know enough about the soundblaster extigy to the point 
where I know it should work well enough with generic USB 
audio. 
 
And the audio controls on the front and with the remote 
should be handled with the UHID device. 
 
Now, as far as I am aware no usb audio devices should be 
working at all if you are tracking STABLE.  
 
If you compile PCM into the kernel directly and try to use 
usb audio you get lots of error 16 and error 19 messages, 
god knows what those mean.. But with the snd_pcm and 
snd_uaudio device modules working any attempt to send 
stuff to /dev/dsp gets a kernel panic along the lines of..

The code crashing the kernel being.. 
 
int 
devclass_get_maxunit(devclass_t dc) 
{ 
    return dc->maxunit; 
} 
 
That function being handed a devclass_t dc that is null. 
 
So somehow uaudio is not registering itself right with the 
pcm module... I am doing something wrong along the lines 
of getting debugging symbols to show up with using kgdb 
and loaded modules, I read the handbook on how to do it 
but I suppose I am not that bright. 
 
To dig further I guess I will need to setup a remote 
debugging box.
