One way to find out... :\ Note that in any "install your own s/w" situation, there will always be issues when you upgrade conflicting packages. You've just got to reinstall. For example, I manually installed the nvidia binary driver, so whenever apt upgrades xorg, it installs it's own libglx.so into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions, so I have to manually recreate a symlink from libglx.so.1.0.NNNN to libglx.so. BTW, why wouldn't alsa-source 1.0.14~rc1-1 from experimental solve your problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF4jrAS9HxQb37XmcRAgmqAJ9YYsd0YVaDMkOALmdxicRoztR41wCg2JNY XYBx9b/2+xxjF6dADjb0emc= =xmA8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
