alsa

[cesar l.]

Finally I get the sound works :D
Thanks all.

Zbigniew: Thanks for reply. I saw the forum that you said and readed
33 pages from a thread :P

I installed a patched alsa-driver 1.0.14rc3:
http://www.inf.ufg.br/~sergiodaniel/alsa-driver-1.0.14_PATCH_rc3-p5vdc-x.tar.gz

One more thing: I don't get installing the alsa-driver from moonbase when I
tried.
A lot of zero division errors. This alsa-driver is the version 1.0.11, while
in alsa home page
the last stable version is 1.0.13.
