Re: debian kernel 2.6.15-1 module-assistant cant compile alsa

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks2000@yahoo.com>]

Dear Sven and List,

My solution.

I recompiled the latest kernel 2.6.15-3 with sound and alsa as modules.
I then blew away udev (I hate it).
I rebooted.
I saw that alsa was started during the bootup messages.

I then ran alsamixer to make everything loud.

I then began to play my mp3s!!!

Yabadabadoo!!!

The problem was udev. I have  no clue how to use the sucker. I wish it made
sense.  I have read and reread the documentation. I prefer to have my devices
there. Why would I want my sound devices coming in and out in userland? 

if it had a trivial configuration tool then i would put up with it, but such
arcane rules for so little benefit....
