Echo Mia thru ALSA on Fedora Core 4
 
I'm having issues getting my Echo card to even be seen by Linux..
I think what I need is some installation instructions for ALSA that aren't sketchy as f$ck. I've read about 50 different installation methods so far, and half of them contradict each other.

I've tried installing/updating ALSA with Yum, and that didn't work. I've compiled and installed alsa_driver, alsa_lib, alsa_firmware, alsa_utils, and probably more of the package too, without any success in actually seeing a soundcard.

Not very impressed at all with ALSA so far. Looks great on the website, but if its f%cking impossible to actually get up and running unless your a guru, then whats the point?

Someone please help. I go crazy without music.. I'm going to (gulp) go back to Windows soon if I can't figure this out.

Ok I'm a bit less pissed off now, than I was when I made the intial post.

LSPCI sees everything about the card, it seems, and I notice that both the Mia and a Host bridge are on IRQ 9. Could that be causing a problem with ALSA detecting it?
