[proaudio] What happened to snd_mia?

[SteelRage <keywiz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there to everyone.
I just tried to upgrade to rt-sources-2.6.16-rt29 and immediatly started 
having problems with my soundcard (an Echo-Digital MIA).
Until yesterday, dmesg said:

Echoaudio Mia: probe of 0000:01:09.0 failed with error -5



Today I did an emerge --sync and a svn-up, tried to recompile rt-sources 
and started to have the following error:


checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: 
Unsupported soundcard mia

I have the same error even if I use the "stable" version of alsa-driver 
(1.0.11) and I don't know if it depends on gentoo-portage or on this 
overlay. Until these latest updates I didn't have any problem with the 
alsa-driver package.
Ah, a final note: I have to use the external alsa-driver, because 
echo-audio cards need the external firmware provided by the 
alsa-firmware package
