Thanks a lot for this advice. I finally got some time to try it but I 
don't want to mess my Planet CCRMA installation. What should I do to 
recompile alsa? I downloaded the alsa-driver source from the alsa site 
and modified the file usbquirks.h located inside the folder 
alsa-kernel/usb. I did configure and make and everything seems ready for 
installation. Should I just install on top of the CCRMA alsa-driver? 
Both are version 1.0.9 but the installed one has a "b" at the end 
(1.0.9b-1.rhfc3.ccrma). If I try to uninstall the alsa-driver using 
synaptic it warns about uninstalling a very long list of applications 
that depend on it.

Sorry for this, but I'm still a newby on Linux.

cheers,

Hector
