setting up alsa using a 2.6.2 kernel?
hi,
having compiled kernel 2.6.2 with built-in alsa for the intel8x0 sound
card, what is the next thing to do?
i'm being completely ignorant as to what i should do next!
here are what puzzles me:
(1.) which alsa-*.deb files should i install? i would like to end up
using alsaplayer to play sound.
(2.) do i need to run "alsaconf" at any point here?
(3.) the script "MAKEDEV.snd" found in the of scripts folder of the
kernel tree - should this script be run instead of the "snddevices"
script found in the alsa-driver folder? is there any documentation of
this script?
i have already tried subscribing to the "alsa-user" list, but for some
strange reason, all my subscription confirmations are sent back to me,
"undelivered"...
i really would love to get sound in my debian os, but right now it seems
an impossible task? im using an almost "bare" woody distribution... only
tainted by evil non-working alsa files all over the place!
thanks for reading, frederik jensen
