sndconfig will compile under any Linux with slang-99 and newt-0.30 (I
think). Anyway, get the latest slang and newt development packages and
it should compile fine.
For example, I compiled sndconfig under Debian to get my SB16 working
properly.
Please note that you need Red Hat's 2.0.36 kernel (with the 2.1 sound
modules backported) or a 2.2 kernel to use sndconfig.
IMHO, sndconfig should be in ALL the distros. It's clean, easy to use
(as of Red Hat 5.2), and does what it needs to do.
