Subject: [Alsa-user] Alsa0.9.0beta12 on Mandrake Linux 8.2 HOWTO

Alsa0.9.0beta12 on Mandrake Linux 8.2 HOWTO
0. Read the INSTALL file.
1. Edit the configure script by inserting -I/usr/src/linux/include at the
end of lines beginning with "ac_compile=" and "ac_link=", but before
the ending quote. I counted six places. ./configure will fail without
this.
2. Delete the directory /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/alsa or move it to ../
make install will complain about unresolved symbols without this.
3. Remove or rename /etc/asound.conf. Alsa will not start on re-boot with
this
file here.
4. Here is the alsa stuff from my /etc/modules.conf, which regards my
via8233
sound card. Read INSTALL for your card.
--------------
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
above snd-via8233 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-via8233
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
---------------
The 'options snd...' line prevents scrolling lines beginning with,
"modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1".
5. 'configure --with-cards=<your_card_here>', 'make install'.
6. I don't know if it was nessessary to get the driver working, but I also
had installed alsa-lib-0.9.0beta12 and alsa-utils-0.9.0beta12 (useful).
That's it. Thanks for all the alsa help!
