You have just lost all crdibility for me. Go ahead an run Helenos if that is what you want. Noone is forcing you to use Linux. Presumably you do so because you find the benefits outweigh the costs. Now you are saying that all other benefits should be sacrificed on the altar of your ease in loading alsa modules. Nuts. Will I cry if you leave linux? No. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
