Unfortunately, been there, done that (and then some - two heavy days): 1. I have the plugins (as part of what I called "ALSA 1.0.28") 2. The config you show is what losers like me start with when trying the make these two work together) Anyway, no cigar (yet), just gasping for air. Reminder: if anybody have managed the feat on a *32-bit* system. Thanks again, -- Alex FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page > >
