I try to compile as much into my kernel as possible, my goal being
`lsmod` returning nothing. I like the fact that I don't have to worry
about modules being loaded and the increased speed I get. Plus I get
the added security that comes with the confidence that modules on my
boxes can never be loaded and or tampered with. All that is to say
that, with v. alsa-1.7* I found that the utils package would not work
unless the package was compiled as a module when I created my kernel.
So the system is not without its flaws and Topher and Godwin have
pointed out.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/5/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Godwin</b> <<a href="mailto:geektoyz@gmail.com">geektoyz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I do recall one issue a long time ago with gnome-volume-manager come<br>to think of it, but it was with like Gnome 2.8.x or something. A<br>quick recompile of the Slackware package, as well as Alsa (from<br>source) fixed me up.
<br><br>Alsa is (almost) a no-brainer to compile. You basically just need the<br>*usual* stuff (libs) and your kernel source for a module. That's it.<br>Good to see you're all set!!!<br><br>G-<br><br><br>On 12/5/05, Topher <
