Marv and Guillermo This is the very same modem that I have and I can confirm it is working properly with ALSA 1.0.13 under a 2.6.18 kernel. The (in)famous "error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)" appeared with ALSA 1.0.14. I think I remember you (Marv) wrote a guide about compiling the 1.0.13 ALSA modules and library, maybe that could help Guillermo - however, as far as I know, they do not compile under 2.6.19+ kernels so a kernel downgrade will certainly be necessary.
