Aha, thank you for the info. I am a little confused by what you said however. You mention release candidate 4, but will this contain the support I am after or is this the work you did for analog sound? If so, when do you think the support for standard G5 sound will be available? I do not know much about the development cycle of ALSA, but if the support is available in RC4 - how long before this is available via the standard unstable/testing repositories? Thanks so much for your help! Noah -- "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." - R. Stallman
