I\'ve installed Fedora Core 3 x86_64 but it seems that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get audio apps to compile that I didn\'t have to go through on the FC3 32 bit distribution.  I\'ve decided to give up and try another release after the troubles I am facing compiling Rosegarden.

I am running Fedora Core 3 test 1 on my x86_64, but I use the standard
2.6.10 kernel with the lsm patch. Hammerfall hdsp works well (except
the hdsp_mixer shows bad levels, but i only use that to unmute the
card so I dont care about that). It works well for me, except the
recent crashes which are weird. I dont even know what I changed,
becasue before last week my machine was running fine...
