[OLPC-devel] Re: Audio suspend/resume status

[Jim Gettys]

Jaya, Jordan, Marcelo,

We're having trouble getting *any* audio input to work, much less the
analog input "sensor" mode to work.

If any of you have time to look into this, it would be greatly
appreciated.
                               Regards,
                                 - Jim Gettys
