Hi Chaps, As far as I know, fxload is still required to initialise certain USB cards, particularly the Tascam range using the usx2y driver. Unfortunately, fxload seems to be currently unmaintained and no longer compiles against linux-headers-2.6.19 which will eventually become stable - as the new version becomes mainstream we won't be able to compile the thing. So, some questions: (a) Am I wrong about the fxload requirement? Is there another way? (b) Can an alternative be created by the ALSA developers? (c) Should this go straight to the udev guys or someone else? For further information, here is a bug in the gentoo bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159931 Regards, Matt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
