The version number had been bumped up from: libalsa2-0.9.2-3mdk.i586.rpm to: libalsa2-0.9.2-4mdk.i586.rpm The Mandrake Club rpmfind and mirror find scripts still linked to the older package, so I got 'file not found' yesterday. There doesn't appear to be an RPM maintained of alsa-tools - I don't know why, because Mandrake packages all the other ALSA stuff. I built envy24control from source and it looks OK so far. A very elegant looking application. > you also need the source of the kernel you are using. For > the multimedia kernel just install the kernel-multimedia-source > package at Thac's RPMS. I'd never needed to upgrade ALSA RPM's between distribution upgrades before, so I didn't know that. It's a bit unusual to require source in order to upgrade a binary, isn't it? Thanks for the help!
