If you really want to compile everything from source and not use your distribution's package, it is recommended that you look up your card in the ALSA soundcard matrix at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and then follow the instructins behind the "Details" link. They also mention which package to use and how to do that. I hope this can help you. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
