Thanks, James. Like I said in my previous reply to you, the section describing option 1 is confusing because it seems to contradict itself firstly by saying alsa-driver is needed (at the first paragraph) and secondly by saying alsa-driver might not be needed (at the end of the section) because Linux 2.6.3 includes alsa-driver-1.0.2, which misses the point of wanting to use CVS alsa-driver in the first place, i.e. to get the very latest drivers -- not those in alsa-driver-1.0.2. Basically it doesn't explain why you should install CVS alsa-drivers. Also it doesn't say what to do with alsa-kernel yet the cvs example shows alsa-kernel being checked out. As Takashi Iwai said earlier, alsa-kernel includes stable drivers only and excludes new/experimental drivers. My understanding is you should install either alsa-kernel or CVS alsa-drivers, but not both of them.

If you wish to use the cvs, you have to get alsa-driver and alsa-kernel, because alsa-driver uses files from ../alsa-kernel
So, if you follow the cvs command exactly it will work.
Cheers James
