In other words, you can use 1.0 packages without any problems.<br /> <br /> <br /> &gt; Is there some sane method to intergrate ALSA from CVS into whatever<br /> &gt; is the latest 2.6 kernel source tree... how ?<br /> <br /> <br /> ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches .<br /> <br /> or (use BitKeeper):<br /> <br /> bk pull http://linux-sound.bkbits.net/linux-sound<br /> <br /> or<br /> <br /> simply copy files from the ALSA's alsa-kernel CVS module to relevant <br /> locations in the 2.6 kernel tree.<br /> <br /> Jaroslav<br /> <br /> -----<br /> Jaroslav Kysela &amp;lt;perex@suse.cz&amp;gt;<br /> Linux Kernel Sound Maintainer<br /> ALSA Project, SuSE Labs<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
