I have alsa as module in the kernel and selected Crystal Logic CS46XX as the driver in the .config. I think it is OK, I purged alsa-base and alsa-utils but was able to play streaming audio.
I had read that Alsa was included in the 2.6.8 kernel so I think this is OK to do. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
