In addition to updating the contrib sources the driver now uses the new Component API and will report the internal mixer state. Reporting of the mixer state is enabled by adding the 'report_mixer' attribute to the drivers configuration and setting its value to 'yes'. The following snippets illustrates the format of the report: !<mixer_state> ! <mixer field="inputs.beep" value="108"/> ! <mixer field="outputs.hp_sense" value="plugged"/> ! <mixer field="outputs.master" value="128,128"/> ! <mixer field="outputs.mic_sense" value="unplugged"/> ! <mixer field="outputs.spkr_muters" value="hp,mic"/> !</mixer_state> The mixer state may expose other mixer fields as well, depending on the used sound card. The naming scheme of the attributes intentionally matches the naming scheme of OpenBSD's mixerctl(1) program. Each 'mixer' node can be used to configure the audio driver by using it in its configuration, e.g.: !<config report_mixer="yes"> ! <mixer field="outputs.master" value="255,255"/> !</config> This configuration will set the output volume to the highest possible value. Although it is now also possible to update the configuration at run-time it should not be done while the driver is currently playing or recording because it may provoke the generation of artefacts. Fixes #1973.

Genode Operating System Framework
=================================
This is the source tree of the reference implementation of the Genode OS
architecture. For a general overview about the architecture, please refer to
the project's official website:
:Official project website for the Genode OS Framework:
[http://genode.org/documentation/general-overview]
The current implementation can be compiled for 8 different kernels: Linux,
L4ka::Pistachio, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA, Fiasco.OC, seL4, and a custom
kernel for running Genode directly on ARM-based hardware. Whereas the Linux
version serves us as development vehicle and enables us to rapidly develop the
generic parts of the system, the actual target platforms of the framework are
microkernels. There is no "perfect" microkernel - and neither should there be
one. If a microkernel pretended to be fit for all use cases, it wouldn't be
"micro". Hence, all microkernels differ in terms of their respective features,
complexity, and supported hardware architectures.
Genode allows the use of each of the kernels listed above with a rich set of
device drivers, protocol stacks, libraries, and applications in a uniform way.
For developers, the framework provides an easy way to target multiple different
kernels instead of tying the development to a particular kernel technology. For
kernel developers, Genode contributes advanced workloads, stress-testing their
kernel, and enabling a variety of application use cases that would not be
possible otherwise. For users and system integrators, it enables the choice of
the kernel that fits best with the requirements at hand for the particular
usage scenario.
