If you decide to compile alsa 1.0.18rc3, you need to apply this patch to avoid oopses: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg17103.html The beep is kinda ugly and it can't be turned down all the way (there's a volume control, but it doesn't turn it down arbitrarily close to 0), but it's better than having no beep at all. -- TimC Calm down, it's *only* ones and zeroes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
