I've built ALSA 1.0.15 from source (all packages) and restarted the machine. Calling /proc/asound/version indeed gives me: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.15. Compiled on Nov 3 2007 for kernel 2.6.22.9-0.4-default (SMP) and the driver I seek, snd-usb-caiaq.ko, is indeed present in the directory /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-0.4-default/kernel/sound/usb/caiaq/ When attempting to configure it using the system tool YaST, however, I can't see it in the list. Is there a way I could manually configure it using alsa tools? Should I copy the module to the parent directory where the other snd-usb-*.ko files are?
