I got alsa working with the new kernel, but there are two questions remaining:

1. Automatic alsa start:
Unlike with former kernels, the alsa-driver doesn't get loaded automatically when it is used by an application (I have configured the driver supplied with the kernel source). I have to issue
modprobe snd-ice1712 or
service alsasound start
to get alsa going (Redhat 9 system).


2. Proper location of alsa-driver in kernel source tree:
I'd like to merge a more recent driver into the kernel source (in linux-2.6.0 from kernel.org there's version 0.9.7). Following Jaroslav's advice from a recent thread, I'd copy the contents of, say


        alsa-driver-1.0.0rc2/alsa-kernel
to
        /usr/src/linux-2.6.0/sound.

But in the former directory (alsa-kernel) there is a subdirectory /include which isn't in the latter (sound).
Should the contents go to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.0/include/sound/ ?
TIA
Klaus
