Of course that's easy. But alsa is official released within the kernel sources. Actual 1.0.1 is released from the alsa people. So why not provide it for everyone? Not every sound app supports "alsa 1.0". But there are patches available for apps such as mplayer and libao. It'll take a short time for alsa to be the standard sound interface in linux. The Debian-Alsa Psychos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who are maintining the alsa packages, have to follow up with the packages of alsa-utils etc. It is of course easy to build my own debs, but why not for every one?
