Yupp, and you can send me the diff to update it. But first, please, test 2.4.22.0.7mdk, as I fixed a typo in request module on our alsa patches. I diffed the sources. Your alsa tar and the official tarball are identical. However, there are a LOT of patches applied, many of them to USB stuff, so I assume that's what's hanging the Quattro. Also I'm not sure why snd-seq-midi isn't building (or it's being deleted), but that should be easier to fix than the Quattro problem. I'd suggest looking at SuSe's current kernel, as most of the ALSA developers work for SuSe. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.

Yupp, and you can send me the diff to update it. But first, please, test 2.4.22.0.7mdk, as I fixed a typo in request module on our alsa patches.
