This patch effects a single sound card driver. (RME HDSP 9652) I wonder if I can just move that driver (and possibly some Alsa make file) to a local, private directory, patch it, and then just make it and move it to the /lib directory by hand? This is basically the way I managed to build my network driver under Redhat and Mandrake when it wasn't supported. Or since it's a sound card driver, how about I change my ALSA_CARDS entry? Will an emerge command pick up changes in make.conf? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
