Hi, I'm on Alsa 1.0.1 and need to go to 1.0.2 as soon as a ~x86 ebuild exists. How does one do this with the 2.6 kernel series? I'm familiar with downloading 1394 CVS and placing it in the drivers section of the /usr/src/linux directory. Am I to assume that this will be the process with 2.6 kernels if I need newer than what is shipped with the ebuild for the kernel? I hope my point is clear. Even though Alsa has become part of the kernel, that doesn't mean that the only time we change Alsa is when there is an official update. I'm involved with testing new audio applications and need to be bleeding edge on Alsa while maintaining a more conservative kernel. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
