You can use --with-cards or edit a file in the root directory of the alsa kernel source. sorry, can't remember the name and I'm not on my home computer right now. > 2.

Seems like I did "make modules" and "make modules install" just like when building the Linux kernel. this could be wrong. > 3. Do you have any pointers on debugging ALSA diver module?

This is all I've got: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=WritingAnAlsaDriver Read the book linked from above, particualarly the section on debugging. Datasheet: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/datasheets/opti/82c931.pdf I think I've got an old ISA Opti 931 card (purchased new for $7) in a box at home. I can help debug things if neccesary. You mentioned using a Cyrix CPU. On a Windows-only mailing list I'm on, many people talk about drivers that only work on certain CPUs. I've never heard anything like that on Linux. This is due either to my ignorance, or to Windows users' cluelessness ("Blame the CPU!") or some technical factor I'm not aware of.
