[linux-audio-user] Replacing Alsa driver in 2.6.8 kernel

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
    I wonder if anyone has a pointer to any web instructions on how to 
replace an Alsa driver that has gotten broken in a new kernel release. 
My ATIIXP sound chip has worked fine for months but suddenly it's broken 
in a number of 2.6.7 kernels as well as 2.6.8-rc2. It appears that a 
broken driver was released without testing, if I understand the Alsa Bug 
Tracker correctly. Now there are comments about replacing the driver in 
the kernel with the driver from CVS. I don't know how to do this.

    Sorry for bringing this issue here but I'm hoping to get a simple 
answer before I go join yet another mailing list for a one time event.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
