Audio Advice

[Joel Konkle-Parker <jjk3@msstate.edu>]

I've got an integrated AC'97 audio chip in my laptop that uses the 
i810_audio kernel driver or ALSA's snd-intel8x0 driver.

The problem is that Woody's latest kernel (2.4.18) is too old to support 
my particular audio chip (first supported in 2.4.20).

So I've got three options, I believe:

1. Build myself a new 2.4.2x kernel.

2. Install Woody's alsa packages and compile a corresponding module 
version for my 2.4.18 kernel.

3. Build myself a new ALSA system.

Any advice on what would be the cleanest solution here?

Thanks in advance.
