Please, this is getting a little confusing.You're absolutely right concerning FC2, alsa and 2.6. But there seems to be (again) some confusion with fedora.us, which is apparently rolling out alsa packages for FC1/2.4 from what I've read here and there on various lists (IIRC Michael Schwendt advertised the pending QA quite a bit).
I'm not quite sure what the original post was referring to.

Incidentaly I've just download all the ALSA packages from freshrpms today. Up to now, I'm running ALSA compiling it from source, but I'd like to give the RPMs a try (I want to install other RPMs that depend on ALSA, and I don't want to spend time with the dependences, trying to convince these RPMs that I have alsa-lib even if I don't have the RPM...)
I downloaded the following packages: alsa-utils-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm alsa-lib-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm alsa-driver-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm alsa-lib-devel-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm kernel-module-alsa-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr_2.4.22_1.2129.nptl.athlon.rpm
Is that Ok? Is there anything else I should take care of? (btw, I have an Athlon machine, and the last kernel for FC1)
I don't understand what's the difference between the alsa-driver and the kernel-module-alsa packages. Do I need both?
I'd like if someone can calrify this issues. Thanks!
