Re: [Sound] Re: alsa and kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0

[Steven Rubenstein <SJR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Through 7.3 I would build alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-user.

As of 8.0, alsa stopped working, I posted, and someone advised me to use 
the alsa-kernel and alsa-driver .rpms from freshrpms.net (which I 
learned have to be installed simultaneously), i.e., rpm -ivh rpm*.  I 
continued to use build alsa-lib and alsa-utils.

When 8.0 released the 1st kernel upgrade, alsa stopped working again.

I believe I should try building alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-user 
again, as I did before 8.0.

Whether or not that works, it does appear that something along the way 
was or is broken.

Will let you know what happens.
