Apologies for this but someone advised me how to compile the usb-asx2y driver in ALSA v1.0.8 for an AMD64 machine on Gentoo but after an OS reinstall I've lost that message and both these archives seem to be down. http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/archive.php http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/12350/0/ . are there any searchable archives of either of these lists anywhere ? . would anyone know if this driver is compilable yet for AMD64 from CVS perhaps ? . or, would anyone know the "trick" to get this module compiled on Gentoo ? (for AMD64/k2.6.10/a1.0.8) --markc
