Re: The ALSA driver in potato is very outdated :-(
I installed the following debs from the woody archive or from incoming.debian.org. My kernel is a 2.2.15 that I compiled myself. In order to install the alsa-modules package I had to give the "--force-depends" option to dpkg. alsa-base_0.5.8a-1.deb alsa-modules-2.2.15_0.5.8a-1+2.2.15-1_i386.deb alsa-utils_0.5.8-1.deb esound-common_0.2.18-2.deb esound-alsa_0.2.18-2.deb libasound1_0.5.8-1.deb libesd-alsa0_0.2.18-2.deb gamix_1.09p11-1.deb Tip: If you use xmms, choose the esd output plugin. -- Thomas Hood > Hi All, > > I had some troubles with ALSA drivers, provided with potato. > I sent a message to one of their developers, and this is what I received: > > > you are using a very old version of ALSA. > > please upgrade your driver/libs from www.alsa-project.org > > > > all azt2320 cards are well supported now. > > So now I have two questions. > 1) How can I upgrade the ALSA drivers in potato so that I wouldn't break >the debian packaging system (Is there something like kernel-package >available for them)? > 2) Are there any plans to upgrade the ALSA drivers for potato >(eg. placing the new version in proposed-updates)?

If you install the ALSA source package, it installs in /usr/src/modules. Running make-kpkg modules_image from usr/src/linux /should package up everything /usr/src/modules (and not make modules included with the kernel). I'm not sure if the source of the debian package was modified to make this work or not... [snip] > Greetings > Wojciech M.

Add the apt source.conf lines for woody, run apt-get install alsa-source (and whatever other alsa apps you might use). You can then remove the source.conf lines for woody after you upgrade all the alsa stuff. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

The ALSA driver in potato is very outdated :-(
Hi All, I had some troubles with ALSA drivers, provided with potato. I sent a message to one of their developers, and this is what I received: > you are using a very old version of ALSA. > please upgrade your driver/libs from www.alsa-project.org > > all azt2320 cards are well supported now. So now I have two questions. 1) How can I upgrade the ALSA drivers in potato so that I wouldn't break the debian packaging system (Is there something like kernel-package available for them)? 2) Are there any plans to upgrade the ALSA drivers for potato (eg. placing the new version in proposed-updates)? -- Greetings Wojciech M.
