ALSA Tutorial

Snipersnest · 02-02-2005, 03:15 PM

Is there anybody out there that has a link to a newer ALSA tutorial?? I'm trying to update mine from Version 1.0.6 to version 1.0.8 ... But I can't find anything out there worth a damn. Most places are saying RPM....ALSA has all their stuff in tar files now....

Can anybody give me a good link or give me a hand?

what do you mean "in tar files now?" As a project, ALSA have always distributed their code as tar source archives, they always will. it's up to fedora or other thrid parties to create RPM's for a particular rpm base distro. if you're simply trying to do a driver upgrade, you don't need a tutorial or anything, just find a 1.0.8 rpm from rpm.pbone.net or somewhere sillimar and update the packages. the configurations are extremely unlikely to be affected at all.

Ok so FINALLY I got ALSA configured and compiled for my Audigy LS...now when I run XMMS to test it out I get this error....How can I fix this?
