I've been working hard to make sure a recent and working alsa is part of 9.2, and I only have about two weeks left to do so. As of last night, I believe all alsa-related packages are 0.9.6, and everything seems to be working well except my M-Audio Quattro, which works with alsa build from source, but not with the driver included with the kernel. I'm working on a solution though. Everything else is up-to-date as well I believe. Ardour beta3, audacity, muse, swami, fluidsynth, all of Holborn's stuff, the multimedia kernel, and a fancy new GUI for jack, etc. etc. I still haven't managed to figure out a way to get csound in, but I figure that anyone smart enough to be able to actually USE csound will also be smart enough to know how to install it. :-) Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
