Because I don't have the sourcecode I could not recompile them with
the new gcc. My question is: someone has already installed this soundcard
under RH8, maybe with other drivers?
I have successfully used an Aureal au8820 with the au88xx-1.1.3 drivers on Red Hat 8.0 by forcibly installing the au8820.o kernel module and disregarding the warning concerning version incompatibility. I have not experienced any stability problems, but since this is a kernel module, I accept that it could potentially cause any type of possible system corruption. If you decide to use this technique, then you do so at your own risk.
I put the following script in "/etc/rc.d/rc.local".
{
echo 'rc.local: force-loading au8820 (Aureal 8820) module'
insmod -f au8820
} 2>&1 | logger -s
The following pertinent lines are from "/etc/modules.conf".
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 au8820
alias sound-service-0-0 au8820
alias sound-service-0-1 off # no midi sequencer on au8820
alias sound-service-0-2 au8820
alias sound-service-0-3 au8820
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
You may try something similar by replacing references to "au8820" by "au8810".
The following edited lines show the messages that I get on module load. Note that I am using a customized version 2.4.19 kernel but I have also tested the au8820.o module on the Red Hat 8.0 stock kernels. Remember that you must recompile your au88xx.o module after any kernel change.
