Dear Bruce,
ALSA in Debian is undergoing a major overhaul right now. /me
points at StevenK and ducks. So the installation for it isn't as
smooth as we'd like right now. Follow the below HOWTO and it should
work fine.

Andrew,

Many thanks for the link. I didn't get very far, I'm afraid :-( I do have kernel 2.4.29-686 installed, which is a perfect fit with the instructions - I was optimistic. However ...

wally:~# apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.18-686
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package alsa-modules-2.4.18-686

Perhaps I need to modify my sources.list? Currently, my sources.list is:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20020718)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main

deb ftp://ftp.iinet.com.au/linux/debian/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

Thanks,
Bruce
