The only match for nVidia that I got from the install file in the ALSA tree was for the intel8x0 module, which is the module for Intel AC'97 motherboards. I only have the alsa 0.9rc3 driver source unpacked here, so don't know if it's in the 0.5x series or not. I couldn't find a match in the OSS drivers, but I'm still running 2.2.20 so there may be more in the 2.4.x tree. I don't know if there's an easy redhat way to install ALSA or, if there is, if using it is encouraged. I generally tend to get the sources, but that can be a bit involved if you've never done it before. I'm happy to give instructions if no-one else comes forward with a way that will save you some steps. Geoff.
