Hi,

I'm new in ALSA, I have been using OSS before for a long time. I tried
to switch to ALSA because I want to use full duplex sound for
telephoning with my notebook with speak freely.
My soundcard is an integrated one using the ES1888 sound chip.

Sorry for asking following questions but read all available files and
didn't find a solution!

1. Is the ES1888 chip supported by ALSA? (In OSS Linux it is supported
   as a ES1688.) What is the difference between ES1688 and ES1888?
2. After having compiled ALSA I got no output after having modprobed
   es1688 in /var/log/messages!
   cat /proc/asound/version 
   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.3.0-pre2.
   Compiled in Jan 26 1999 for kernel 2.0.36 with versioned symbols.
3. According to INSTALL I tried the following commands:
     ./configure --with-debug=detect; make clean; make
   After having done make install and after modprobe there was no
   difference! I still didn't get any output to /var/log/messages
   I looked into configure and realized that the option
   --with-debug=detect is oviously wrong so tried --with-debug=full
   and I still didn't get any output! What can I do to get messages to
   /var/log/messages?
4. In INSTALL there is the question: If you have a ISA PnP soundcard!
   I don't know! Can you tell me from the information I put into this
   email whether I have a ISA PnP soundcard?
5. I tried to explicitely set IRQ, port-address and dma channel using
   the following command: (according to INSTALL!)
   hafling:[/tmp/alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre2](541)$ modprobe snd-es1688 snd_port=0x220 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=3
   I got following results:

   /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-es1688.o: symbol for parameter snd_port not found
   
  I than tried following:
  hafling:[/tmp/alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre2](541)$  rr insmod snd-es1688 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=3
  /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/snd-es1688.o: symbol for parameter snd_irq not found

  So the question is: Where can I get the correct symbol names from?

Sorry for lots of questions but the documentation seems to be out of
date! Any help is greatly appreciated!
