Heh, yeah, sorry. Thing is, if you'd have just installed the modules and
rebooted, it would have worked :)

Yeah looks fine, except I just fixed a very stupid bug in the i2sbus
module. Please don't try to remove it after loading, until you upgrade
to the current version.

I tried changing the tas module to detect if the codec *really is
present*, but failed. There's some code in there, but I'll solicit some
help with that later.

Interesting, but good to know. I'd have thought that the fabric would
not take the codec into use. Will see if I can fix that.

Good point. Everything else should not be necessary though, since the
i2sbus module should automatically load due to having a macio modalias.
