The AlSA 0.5.12a driver is included in Mandrake 8.2. It's part of your
kernel-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk package. Btw, ALSA 0.5.x is deprecated, the
0.9.0beta series is where development is done and it's part of recent
2.5.x development kernels. OTOH, there are some problems installing the
latest ALSA 0.9.0beta12 with the latest Mandrake 8.2 :(

Uhm, Mandrake 8.2 (in a 'standard' installation) uses DEVFS, see the ALSA
INSTALL file about that!

Looks OK, does an OSS mixer work?

Btw, I read on [EMAIL PROTECTED] that the SB live works well in
Mandrake 8.2. HTH,
