[ltp] thinkpad-acpi release 0.23-20091220 uploaded to ibm-acpi.sf.net

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

I have released version 0.23-20091220 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.27 to 2.6.32, at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ibm-acpi/files/thinkpad-acpi/0.23-20091220/

(support for 2.6.28, 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 will be discontinued soon).

git users can get it directly from tags in:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

This release has some bug fixes, and something very important: ALSA
support.  The ALSA interface will be the main volume monitor and control
interface for the driver from now on.

Note that by default the ALSA interface is read-only (you're supposed to
mess with the mixer using the hotkeys, not software).  It can be made
read-write though a kernel paramenter, much like fan-control works.

Please test, and report.  I don't know how well it works on the newer
ThinkPads that have switched to mute-only control in firmware.
