umm, ...  what's proprietary?  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.



"modinfo snd_es18xx" shows me that it is part of the latest FC5 kernel but
not FC6 (weird), and its license is GPL. I would try it first without
installing any other alsa modules.

The "official" alsa-lib for FC5 is alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5.i386.rpm.

If it does not work, then I would try Atrpms' drivers.

The line below is a sign that the module you are using now is somewhat
incomplete for some reason.

snd: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
