Could you please provide more details about the "mplayer recognizes them as installed"? Preferably with exact error messages ;) Kind regards, Andrei
hello andrei,thanks for your answer. i know the drivers are included in all the kernels i use and can be used by the debian-adapted mplayer-version. however, since ancient times almost, i prefer the svn download version from *their site* in hungary (?). that version does not see the kernel-drivers under squeeze, my production machine. so, up till driver version 1.24 i downloaded the source-code of the alsa-driver, alsa-library and alsa-utils. the driver i compile, make and install in /usr/src. the library and the utils in my home-directory. this makes that the downloaded mplayer-svn-version can see the driver. (i can of course control that by reading the ./compile && file.
that is the reason i need the drivers from their website.unfortunately i can reach the alsa-website as usual; but somehoew for a longer time already, it has become impossible to download the driver, library and utils-source. that is the reason i put my (i guess too compact) question on the debian list.
