I guess I'm not "basicly everyone" then. On the other hand, alsa-lib 0.9.8 -> 1.0.1 did brake so that I had to recompile a newer 2.6.* kernel to get any sound out of the system. Countless other kernel/alsa upgrades have forced me to reconfigure something to get sound or mixer settings back. The _only_ case I've heard new hotplug brakes alsa if 1) you have more than one soundcard and 2) you wanted to have the non-first in PCI bus soundcard as "default" and 3) you are not using a desktop env sound system like esound or arts to select the default sound card and instead rely on /dev/ symlinks Is that really basicly everyone or a loud group of powerusers? _ -- Riku Voipio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 | +358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo | | dark> A bad analogy is like leaky screwdriver |
