They are compiled into the kernel in this particular attempt to get ALSA 
working. I have tried them as modules using an unpatched 2.4.20 in the past 
(see thread about Analogue subsections not ready) and had no joy. Also 
AlsaPlayer hangs on startup

The only way I have had ALSA working is on 2.5.59 compiled directly into the 
kernel hence my attempts to use a similar setup with this patched jp series 
kernel.

FWIW, when I was on 2.5.59 I was booting into the same install and 
everything[1] so I don't think the problem is at an application level. All 
applications that I have tried fail (XMMS, Mplayer, KMix and ARTS[2] being 
the ones I've tested with)

Using the OSS driver it does work on my setup, but the OSS driver is very 
limited (48KHz only, no recording) and basically unuseable for what I want to 
do.

Any ideas?

[1] With the exception of mounting /dev/hde* rather than /dev/ataraid/*

[2] I normally keep ARTS disabled, but it was worth trying to see if that 
worked.
