[hsflinux] Fedora 7 Volume control...

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

according to:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/changes.php

the ALSA code currently used by the HSF driver was taken from ALSA 
mercurial (hg) at about Apr 15 2007, so the code is only 2 months old at 
the moment of this writing.

We will continue to sync our code with the latest code ALSA in the future.

Regards,
