Please post when the cvs has updated. Thanks. I wanted to try the latest Alsa. I don't know if it will help my problem, but it can't hurt. I have had the damndest time getting a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS working. It plays local files, but doesn't do well on remote streams. More importantly perhaps, darkice, which broadcasts sound to a shoutcast server, totally slows down the system. Oddly, it runs a little faster using OSS emulation, but not much, and I still consider it highly unacceptable. I currently use kernel 2.7.17.8 with ALSA version 1.0.11rc4. Kernel 2.7.18 has Alsa 1.0.12rc1. Sorry for the slight digression.
