The machine's called bigfoot because it's a huge 35kg tower from Daystar.
(35kg weighs about 75 pounds on earth, for backward-thinking imperials out
there. If you like imperial units, remember: In star wars, the empire
loses :)
I had no problems building dmasound as a module. You do need to set up
your modutils so it knows to load it when something tried to use a sound
device, though. put
alias char-major-14 dmasound_awacs # This worked for Linus's tree?
or
alias char-major-14 dmasound_pmac # works for paulus and fsmlabs trees.
into /etc/modutils/local.config (or any other file. I like to not add
stuff to the conffiles, so I don't have to edit by hand on every upgrade of
the modutils package.) Don't forget to run update-modules after you add the
file.
