I have just tried rpm -i alsa-2.2.19_0.5.10b-6.4mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: kernel = 2.2.19-6.4mdk is needed by alsa-2.2.19_0.5.10b-6.4mdk
This is most enlightening, I have the wrong kernel! I had a look at the Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO, but sections 2.1 and 2.4 only cover the 2.2.x and 2.0.x kernels! My kernel = 2.4.18-6mdk Does this mean, you need new drivers for every little incremental kernel change? Isn't this... insane? I mean, MS Windows NT comes out with a new service pack every 3 months, imagine if all the sound drivers had to be rewritten for every service release! I mean, Windows 95<->98 have small differences, but you can still use the same drivers... Someone please explain that aspect of the Linux world to me, it seems just... so ... mindboggling. Anyway, is there any alsa package (.src or .rpm) that will suit my kernel? Thanks.
