Alsa-driver is worthless for 2.6.0 kernels. The alsa stuff is in the kernel source tree now. What's there is older code. For the alsa 1.0.0 stuff, you'll have to wait until the appropriate code is merged into the 2.6.0 stable tree. Maybe that won't be long now, since 2.6.0 has been officially released. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
