While a live CD is useful for testing or for running your favourite distro on someone else's Windows machine, it is hardly a good candidate for permanant use. 10 min uploading and then having to reconfigure everything each time ( eg internet access, etc) is hardly the way to go. Now it may help you find out if the sound driver exists on that particular distro, and whether it actually works, so that you do not have to recompile alsa only to discover that it does not work anyway, but the solution for anyone's machine is to install it on the premanant distro on their machine. That requires compiling alsa. Note that 1.0.11 DOES include riptide. As did 1.0.10, but not 1.0.9, which is what ships with Mandriva 2006 and possibly FC5. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
