For the driver package I use kgcc, install it if you don't
have it. While the newer redhat gcc's (2.96-85+) _supposedly_
should be able to compile the kernel and drivers I do not risk
it. For the library and utilities it should not matter (I
guess).

I have (in the past) used the normal 0.5.11, kgcc, and ignored
any warnings (and it worked).

It depends on the software you intend to use and whether it
supports the 0.9 api and or is happy with alsa oss emulation
(and probably the sound card you have). I've been lucky so far
with 0.9 cvs. I have rpms for both a kernel with the low
latency patches (2.4.8) and alsa cvs (currently cvs of
10/2/2001) and a bunch of apps that use them at:

  http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/

You can either install the kernel I use and the binary rpms
for the alsa 0.9 drivers, or recompile the alsa srpms (also in
the site) with your current kernel, either way they should
work fine...

The PlanetCCRMA software pages are a work in progress but
maybe useful anyway...

PS: I also have rpms that compile fine for alsa 0.5, let me
know if you need them.
