Hi,

I'm running 2.4.1, too, but I didn't get alsa to build. I used the
male-dpkg modules_image method. alsa-source from woody didn't compile,
the package from sid had a problem that looked like I needed some newer
package management parts. I've asked already on the list (complete with
error messages, I could dig that up in the archives if you want), but
received no answer. Did you do anything special? Alsa version?

Thanks a lot, M.
