Hi,
The normal way I patch the 2.6.x kernel, is i download alsa-kernel from CVS. and then delete the ./alsa-kernel/oss dir, then just copy all the contents of alsa-kernel over the top of /usr/src/linux/sound
I then copy the include directory to /usr/src/linux/include/sound, and it all works.
I have noticed that au88x0 driver only got into the alsa-driver tree.
Should I be doing something different in order to get au88x0 drivers into my local kernel 2.6.x tree.
As the au88x0 drivers are not in the alsa-kernel tree, the kernel 2.6.x Kconfig file does not have a au88x0 entry, so it can not easily be moved into kernel 2.6.x.
Can someone please point me to the correct merge/patch method, or am I in fact highlighting a bug!
It's not a bug. All alpha/beta drivers are in the alsa-driver directory. This directory doesn't allow to be merged to 2.6 code in a simply way, but
you can compile these drivers as modules outside the kernel like for 2.4
(simply go to the alsa-driver directory and run cvscompile there).

cvscompile or alsa-driver did not work on the 2.6 kernel. The modules did not load due to missing symbols, e.g. VMALLOC etc. and also a PDE error during configure
