The version of alsa you are attempting to use is 1.5-2 years old. It is unlikely that you will be able to get it working on any current system.
Please try the 0.9.0beta12 version of ALSA. Don't let the beta in the version name scare you. The 0.9.x ALSA series is much improved over the 0.5.x series which should only be thought of as a historical release at this point. Clear out everything on your systems related to 0.5.x and get the 0.9.0beta12 versions of the drivers, library and utilities from the alsa-project website: http://www.alsa-project.org/ If you have any trouble with these report back to the list. It's always good to hear about linux gaining wider deployment. Good luck. -Eric Rz. "Sarris, Chris" wrote: > > Hello, > I am having some problems compiling the alsa-driver-0.5.9.
