Attached is a current (2.4.16) linux kernel rtc callback patch for alsa. The latest I have seen is for 2.4.9, and it doesn't apply cleanly.
apply this by: cd /usr/src/linux patch -s -p1 < alsa_rtc_2.4.16.patch This fixes the rtc.o line in the Makefile patch and realigns the patches in rtc.c -- Sam Chessman [EMAIL PROTECTED] In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
