For 2.6.0-test releases, I've been using the ALSA RPM packages from freshrpms.net, and additionally copied the `alsasound' init script from the original ALSA driver tarball (`utils' subdirectory) to /etc/init.d/, followed by running /sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound. /etc/modprobe.conf contains: install sound-slot-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove sound-slot-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : in conjunction with the usual ALSA module aliases. Works fine for me. --Kai
