I gather that 0.9.0beta7 is not a good choice. Is there going to be a beta8 release soon (I don't want to mess with cvs) or is there an earlier version in which this driver performed better? Should I downgrade to 0.9.0beta4 or 0.5.10b (these are available as Debian packages)? _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
