Yes, I imagined.. but since still it does not compile on 2.6.31... I
just wanted to know..
anyway I managed compiling the drivers commenting inside a Makefile
the driver that
refused to..

I'll try it! Anyway, just yesterday playing with sox I found out a
satisfying configuration

only for out-and-out specialists!
Thanks for your attention!
