ALSA is released under the GPL. a fresh fc5 install wouldnt have any proprietary stuff. so i'm still thinking something might be mismatched? or perhaps you mean that alsa-kmdl sits askew from some standard? murky to me. guess i should try the alsa source if i don't hear any other ideas. ty, greg wm _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
