However it doesn't touch alsa-lib, only the driver, so if you currently have ALSA installed as modules you can get ALSA from CVS and only build in the alsa-driver directory. I woukd not expect this to cause any dependency problems. I will generate a patch against the 2.6.10 kernel source which should make it easier. Lee
