<  Hi Mira :)
<  
<  I never did it, but I found a howto, maybe this will help you. Note: The
<  howto isn't for 64 Studio 2.1 and it doesn't use GRUB ;).
<  http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/CompilingTips
<  
<  I'm running my unstable DAW with a vanilla install of 64 Studio 2.1
<  64-bit, but with a second kernel.
<  
<  The default kernel is:
<  
<  linux-image-2.6.21-1-multimedia-amd64
<  
<  I compiled:
<  
<  linux-image-2.6.24.7-rt17-rev01
<  
<  And there are only ALSA modules for the default kernel:
<  
<  alsa-modules-2.6.21-1-multimedia-amd64 1.0.17
<  
<      'Please note that ALSA driver modules are included in
<      kernel-image packages of version 2.6 or higher. Therefore,
<      you do not need to install an alsa-modules package if you
<      are running a 2.6 kernel. You may still want to install an
<      alsa-modules package for a 2.6 kernel because the drivers
<      in alsa-modules packages are usually more current than
<      those in kernel-image packages.'
<  
<  How can I find out which version of ALSA modules is in the kernel image
<  package for my 2.6.24.7-rt17 included?
<  
<  Because of the troubles with Rosegarden and MusE I should know this and
<  perhaps compile ALSA modules too.
<  
<  Cheers,

Hi Ralf,

-after experience I've got in last days I have to say 64tudio default kernel is 
good one, but on the other hand I learned quite a lot by trying new things.

-yes you are right alsa modules are included in new kernels, but version 1.0.15 
which is good, but there is a bug for my card RME Digiface. 

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=fmv935%24cls%241%40ger.gmane.org

and there is another bug for compiling 1.0.17 alsa modules with new kernel

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501417

This makes me wonder how 64studio's developers got 1.0.17(current stable) alsa 
in default 2.6.21 kernel .... hats off 

-you can get info about your alsa like this:
#cat /proc/asound/version

-I really can only recommend to stay with default kernel for now it is really 
good one.  

Cheers

mira
