Hi,

	The SB PCI128 seems to run fine using the snd-audiopci driver, but is
not listed as supported?  The PCI64 is listed, but has an asterix beside
the entry.  What does the asterix stand for?

	I copied the example for '/etc/conf.modules', but have no idea what
these entries do.  Is there any documentation available to that?  Is it
possible to have 2 options lines that refer to the same snd_audiopci
card?  It seems to work.

	'xamixer' needed libasound >= 0.1.3, which I found and compiled, but
there were no instructions on how to configure and install the
libraries.  As a linux newbie, this wasn't obvious to be, so I think
that some instructions would be useful in this package.

	'xamixer' failed to install, but worked ok after I created the
'pixmaps' directory that the install script was trying to write to.

	The instructions to copy 'xamixer.home' to ~/xamixer is a bit unclear. 
It is currently in the xamixer-0.2.1 which is where I run xamixer. 
Where should that file go?  Can I add parameters to set the levels on
start, ie: take it off mute?

	Is there a way that I can run 'modprobe snd-audiopci' automatically at
startup?

	Any input is appreciated.

	The ALSA drivers and xamixer program are AMAZING!  I'm really impressed
by their performance.  Thanks!
