RE: Giving recompile another try
That would be great except:
1. I'll have to wait for the new kernel to be released or use the
development kernel. In either case, I still can't recompile the current
kernel correctly so this option is no good until...
2. The next version of Debian is released with the new kernel already
integrated. Since slink is now frozen that means sid at the earliest and
that's probably another six months off.
Oh well. I may have to give up on linux for a while if no one can help me
with hamm. I'll probably play with slink since it has a few things I
haven't played with yet (Enlightenment and Gnome).

The 2.2 series kernels, which will be available soon, include the modular
sound system (which was funded by Red Hat). I'm running a patched 2.1.131
here, and I was able to load a working sound system entirely from modules.
I think some of the later 2.0.x kernels (.35? .36?) include at least
some support for modular sound too.
