OK.
All packages downloaded in version 1.0.11rc4 (except alsa-oss and 
alsa-firmware, for which only 1.0.11rc3 were available)

All packages "./configure"-d and "make install"-ed.
(Exceptions: alsa-plugins, which needed a pkg-config script which I 
don't have, and alsa-oss, which I currently have no use for, I think.)
For alsa-tools, I configure-d and make installed-ed in the vxloader 
subdirectory, as it is the vxpocket I need support for.

However, after this (and after a reboot) "modprobe snd-vxpocket" gives 
the error message:
------------
dhcp91:/home/asbjorn/alsa_dev_2006-03-23# modprobe snd-vxpocket
FATAL: Module snd_vxpocket not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_vxpocket
------------------


Searching for "vx" in /lib/modules/2.6.16-rt5-realtime (the current 
kernel) does not find the vxpocket module:
---------------------------
dhcp91:/home/asbjorn/alsa_dev_2006-03-23# uname -a
Linux dhcp91 2.6.16-rt5-realtime #1 PREEMPT Thu Mar 23 11:54:28 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
dhcp91:/home/asbjorn/alsa_dev_2006-03-23# find /lib/modules/2.6.16-rt5-realtime/ |grep vx
/lib/modules/2.6.16-rt5-realtime/kernel/sound/drivers/vx

/lib/modules/2.6.16-rt5-realtime/kernel/sound/pci/vx222/snd-vx222.ko
--------------------------


I recompiled and re-installed the alsa-driver package, and as far as I 
can see, the vxpocket module is neither compiled nor installed.
