i talked with some ASoC (www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/alsa/info.html)
developers today on irc. they told me that i have to figure out the i2c
address. after that i (we) have to figure out how the wm8750 chip is
connected. i2c or ssp. after that we have to write a machine driver.

take a look at: kernel26/Documentation/sound/alsa/soc

perhaps someone is more familiar in kernel development then me....
