I ended up downloading the alsa-firmware package from alsa-project.org,
installing 'Development Tools', and using confgure/make/make install,
bypassing yum. That seems to work. I suspect it probably breaks hpklinux,
but if I ever need that I'll reinstall it.

Hey Rob,
More details: you *could* do:
sudo rpm --erase --no-deps hpklinux
I'm not completely sure how CentOS will behave when you next do a "yum
upgrade" and there is also a Rivendell upgrade. I believe yum will simply re-
install the hpklinux package, and you'll have to remove it again. Or the alsa-
firmware package will conflict with the upgrade and you'll have to do
something like "yum upgrade --skip-broken" to get it to install. Either way,
it will probably require on-going attention over the life of the system...
Hope this helps!

OK, so I've got RD 2.19.3 running via the standard CentOS 7 install on a
machine I am maintaining as a backup.
The M-Audio sound card it's been running appears to have become faulty; it
no longer generates any output.
So, I want to replace it with an Echo MIA Midi card I've had on the shelf,
but that card requires the alsa-firmware package, which CentOS won't let
me install, claiming that it conflicts with hpklinux.
Now, I don't need hpklinux because this machine doesn't have an
AudioScience card, but if I try to remove it, it threatens to remove
Rivendell too.
Does anyone know of an easier fix than recompiling Rivendell from source?
