I may try it out one of these days.
yes. alsa-kernel tree includes the all files (including Kconfig) except for OSS driver codes under oss directory. please remember the difference of alsa-kernel and alsa-driver trees. for 2.6.x kernel, only alsa-kernel tree is used. also, you can build on alsa-drivers as well as 2.4.x (i fixed this yesterday). but in this case, note that the kernel configuration will override the local configuration of alsa-driver (provided by configure script). for example, if you turn off the ALSA support on 2.6.x kernel config, you cannot build on alsa-drivers tree properly at all. this causes often problems when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG mismatches between kernel and alsa-driver trees. also, when the kernel is compiled with MODVERSION, you'll have many compile warnings on alsa-driver tree, due to redefinition of symbols. but you can ignore them in general. ciao, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
