here is the update of sound bits for 4.11: again at this time, no bigchanges in ALSA and ASoC core but only cosmetic changes likeconsitifaction. Meanwhile, quite a lot of developments are seen ina few driver side.
ALSA Core:- Clean up, consitification of some ops
HD-audio:- A slight behavior change of single_cmd option- Quirks for AmigaOne X1000, Samsung Ativ Book 8, Dell AiO, ALC221 HP,and fixes for Lewisburg controller- Realtek ALC299, ALC1220 codecs
Others:- USB-audio: Tascam US-16x08 DSP mixer quirk- Intel HDMI LPE audio support for Baytrail / Cherrytrail; thiscontains some updates in drm/i915 for the new platform binding
ASoC:- Lots of updates in Intel drivers, mostly for DisplayPort and HDMIon Skylake and onwards, as well as more Baytrail / Cherrytrailboards support- Channel mapping support for HDMI- Support for AllWinner A31 and A33, Everest Semiconductor ES8328,Nuvoton NAU8540.

For the latest intel drivers for 16.04 here is the link

To enable hardware video decoding in the browsers the following is needed once the intel drivers are installed
#mplayer example of hd decoding
mplayer -vo vaapi:dm=0 -va vaapi
#For enabling it in chrome and chromium

Would it be possible to try to set
DeviceDrivers->RealTimeClock->PC-style 'CMOS' to Module for the next build?
On some devices, the RTC driver otherwise conflicts with mmc, and causes trouble. See this one:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150881#c41
On Thinkpad 8 this causes mmc1 not to work, making wifi unusable. On other devices, it blocks mmc0 and therefore access to the eMMC storage.
Yes. Both high and low bands. I have it in the 5.775 range.
AFAIK VAAPI only works in Chromium after applying a patch. Google only officially supports HW video decoding in Chrome OS, Mac OS and Windows.
The latest update on bugzilla does not look promising. I'll keep an eye on it to see where it goes.
You are correct, but the flash player supports it :)
Hey, did manage to use linux on thinkpad 8?
