Re: [Sound] please help a newbie, red hat 8 and cs4610

I don't know.  I found the following at 
http://www.alsa-project.org/~jfulmer/alsa-faq.html, but it's from 1999:


2.10 I read that I can use "--with-cards=" configure switch to compile 
drivers just for my soundcard. Should I do this?

The '--with-cards=' switch to configure is meant to allow compilation of 
just the drivers for a particular sound card.

While it should be working at this moment, '--with-cards-' does break 
frequently during the development process. It is recommended that you 
not use this switch, unless you know what you are doing, have the 
current driver working, and are helping to debug.

If you decide to try --with-cards and it breaks send comment to 
alsa-devel list with:
- The exact --with-cards option
- Output of "depmod -ae"
