An open source kernel extension enabling native macOS HD audio for not officially supported codecs without any filesystem modifications.
It's specifically optimized for ALC292 (3226) based upon acidanthera's repo.
NOTE: only keep ALC292 codes, please do not use for non-ALC292 codes.
Advantage:
- reduced AppleALC.kext size from 2M to 136kB
- shorten the loading time during boot up
