(you can run make as normal user, though.) > 4) The rest can't be built ('make' doesn't work). alsa-tools and alsa-oss should be ok, too (if you have installed necessary GUI toolkits for alsa-tools). the trees which are not released as 0.9.x tarballs are all obsolete. > 5) Again: alsa-drivers is not needed at all for me. yep, as long as you run 2.5/2.6 kernels only. ciao, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
