Not for the Musix kernel that I suggested he install to get the sounds working on Etch. The kernel headers are available for the Musix 2.6.26 realtime kernel, but no source. Strangely the etchnhalf kernel which has alsa driver 1.0.15, produced no sounds, with a failure to create /dev/dsp message, although my Kubuntu Dapper install on the same machine, which at install was using alsa driver 1.0.10, which I then upgraded to alsa driver 1.0.15 from the alsa site, now does produce sounds. It doesn't make sense. Both alsa drivers are the same version, yet the one installed on Kubuntu Dapper has sounds working, but the on that comes with the etchnhalf kernel doesn't. I'm not complaining, as I do have the Musix kernel installed, which has the sounds working (alsa driver 1.0.16), but it is a bit bizarre that Dapper has sound using the alsa driver 1.0.15, but etchnhalf, using the same alsa driver, does not have sound.
