Hi Triode, I'd like to give this a try, but have no clue what to do with this file once I've downloaded it. Will be using a Win7 PC and Win SCP. Would it be possible to list the steps one would go through to get the file over to usr/bin/jive_alsa. I'm familiar with the general process (have done it with tt 3.0). What does one need to do to "make sure it is executable"? Sorry for being a noob...but thanks for all your good efforts! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
