[linux-audio-user] alsaconf errors

[Gustavo Zamorano S.]

Joseph:
Why you are using release 0.9.0?
I have RH9 and release  0.9.5  that I downloaded a few weeks ago.  I 
checked that there is a new release 0.9.6 since end of July.

After compiling the driver, alsaconf remains under the  directory 
alsa-driver-0.9.5/utils.  It is not copied to /usr/sbin.

I think you should get latest release.
