That would be great except: 1. I'll have to wait for the new kernel to be released or use the development kernel. In either case, I still can't recompile the current kernel correctly so this option is no good until... 2. The next version of Debian is released with the new kernel already integrated. Since slink is now frozen that means sid at the earliest and that's probably another six months off.
Oh well. I may have to give up on linux for a while if no one can help me with hamm. I'll probably play with slink since it has a few things I haven't played with yet (Enlightenment and Gnome).

I'm running a patched 2.1.131 here, and I was able to load a working sound system entirely from modules. I think some of the later 2.0.x kernels (.35? .36?) include at least some support for modular sound too. miket
