But native should be trivial... Should be that easy provided that there were no patches in the source package that corresponds to the existing alsa-lib rpm in fc6.

IMHO it is best to start from the source package of the distro you are dealing with, and check what's there first. -- Fernando ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
