Re: Sarge with an Ensoniq Soundscape Elite ISA sound card

Um, I think you're trying to build the 2.4 modules from the source
package (the /usr/src/modules/alsa gives it away). With 2.6, you need
to build the modules within the kernel tree itself.
Please note, first, that ALSA modules are shipped in kernel-image-2.6*
packages, so if you are using a standard Debian kernel then you
normally don't need to build any modules yourself.
Note, second, that you _can_ build an alsa-modules package for a 2.6
kernel from alsa-source using the make-kpkg utility. When the
alsa-modules package is installed, the module loader will load its modules
in preference to those from the kernel-image package.
One reason you might want to build an alsa-modules package for a 2.6
kernel is that the drivers so generated are generally more up-to-date than
the ones in the kernel. For example, alsa-source is currently at version
1.0.7 whereas Linux 2.6.8.1 currently contains ALSA version 1.0.4.
I think I'm almost there. I rebuild the alsa modules with
module-assistant and ran alsaconf. My card was discovered (it wasn't
before I rebuilded the module).

I still have alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No
such device when I run Alsamixer. And I don't have any /dev/dsp of
mixer or sequencer. They were there a few days ago but something
happened (?).
