Well, I'm sure you can recompile those game packages without ALSA anyway. Also, note that ALSA 0.9.x has just appeared in Mandrake 9.0 and that all previous Mandrake releases were using the incompatible, aging and now unsupported 0.5.x series.

Near to none, it should be quite straightforward : http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/ The only tricky part is editing the /etc/modules.conf file, but the ALSA Soundcard Matrix has a page for every supported card with a section you can most of the time simply copy and paste! I really think that with my ALSA packages, ALSA on Red Hat Linux has never been so easy! ;-) Cheers, Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) running Linux kernel 2.4.18-10 Load : 0.00 0.07 0.17, AC on-line, battery charging: 100% (1:47) _______________________________________________ RPM-List mailing list http://lists.freshrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
