Takashi-san,
   Thank you very much for the response. It is helpful.

   Would I be correct that if I had a 2.6 level kernel and wanted to use the
newest Alsa from CVS, then I would:

1) Download CVS to my machine in it's own directory
2) Replace what is currently in linux/sound with the CVS source EXCEPT for
the oss directory which I would leave alone.
3) Build the kernel with Alsa sound support and no OSS support
4) Use Alsa to do OSS emulation like I do today in modules.conf

   In linux/sound there are a few other files - Kconfig, etc. If these are
not supplied by Alsa CVS, then I would leave them in linux/sound to perform
whatever function they perform today.

   Does this sound about right? I may try it out one of these days.

Thanks,
Mark
