I'm using debian Sarge I've been attempting to install the alsa sound system, but it keeps failing.
When doing a listing the installed packages I see;
dpkg -l | grep alsa
iF alsa-base 1.0.1-1 ALSA sound driver common files
rc alsa-modules-2 0.9.6+1 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
ii alsa-utils 0.9.8-1 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (utils)
ii gstreamer-alsa 0.6.2-2.libran ALSA plugin for GStreamer
I can remove everything but the "modules". I cannot get a clear
picture of correct file name.
If I remove the base & utils files, I'll attempt to install again. I'll
select my chip set via82xx, and then it'll die with the following error
messages;
aptitude install alsa-base
