ALSA problems, no node numbers in /dev/snd
I read somewhere that ALSA was the future of sound on Linux, if that's
true, why is the documentation so far out of date?
Anyway, here is my problem.
I've compiled 2.4.16 and alsa-modules.
I ran snddevices
When I boot, it appears that ALSA loads:
Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0beta9): sbawe.
#lsmod

I'm guessing that is the problem, why are the devices coming up as 0,0?
I've now been trying to set up sound for 3 days now (mostly kernel
compile problems) It really shouldn't be this hard. I've been
searching everywhere for answers. On a side now, mailing list archives
that aren't searchable are worthless.
Thanks,
Brandon
