Or... are you using sound as modules?

OK - I'll do it later (just this once :-) I don't want to as a general rule - because I have to pay for download bandwidth -- if there's a general move for people to want to download binaries - I'll have to beg some space on an ftp server... I can't just send you the binaries for the modules - because they wouldn't load against an un-patched 2.2.17pre10. > BTW: Note about this page: at the start there is written > "PowerMac/Amiga/Atari/etc." > There is no such thing as a PowerAtari... there is a PowerAmiga, yes... but no > PowerAtari...

You can find this using "Display Name Registry" on the apple side [it's available on the Apple web site IIRC] look under davbus:sound. - or by looking in the /proc/device-tree on the linux side (I hope - although, of course, this could be the root of the problem :).
