ALSA snd-hda module DKMS PPA

PPA description

A DKMS backport of the latest ALSA High Definition Audio snd-hda-* kernel modules to the Ubuntu Lucid 2.6.32-* kernel.

This package should support some newer High Definition Audio hardware not supported by the older ALSA snd-hda-* modules found in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. This includes some HDMI audio devices on newer NVidia and ATI GPUs, along with newer Intel chipsets.

Once this package is installed, DKMS should automatically build and install these modules every time a new kernel is installed.

Changes to the code are in /usr/src/alsa-hda-backport-0.20110915.*/alsa_hda_backport.patch

This is just a quick hack to get these newer modules to load under Lucid, YMMV. For a better supported bleeding edge ALSA module collection, try:
