Thanks Guys I figured Xubuntu might be the way forward. But I would to crack the kernel recompilation thing just as you say - as a learning exercise.
*Debian's policy is the "problem" - it's a laudable policy and I'm really not going to criticise it, and I admire anyone with the principles to stick with it. But if you're looking to pull the soundfusion code into your install you've already decided to be more pragmatic in which case using a more pragmatic distro would be easier.* I can understand this policy, and I agree with you it is laudable and I would not want to criticise it at all, but I can't live without sound - that's what I meant was annoying, not the policy - hope that cleared things up. Thanks for the tips I will certainly look at the links etc and have a go at getting a new kernel, but as you say I think Xubuntu is on its way back long-term..
