Tim/ Mark,
Thanks for your comments, I must admit I am struggling a bit. My aim is to build a
dual-purpose machine, none of which require a fancy gui. I'm building an app server
for work related stuff (DB, WebServer etc.) and when it's doing those jobs I wont need
any of the music/ sound related stuff. And a MAME station, fully kitted out in a dedicated
cabinet. So I need alsa for xmame, I don't need it for any music related stuff as I do
that on an XP setup I've got on a better PC.
So if anyones got any pointers to getting the simplest setup up and running I really
would appreciate it. Bandwith isn't an issue, so if there's a distribution that
comes with alsa and config as part of the setup.............. maybe?

Stew,
Do a minimal clean install of Redhat 9 and then try out the
PlanetCCRMA flow. You should be up and running within an hour or two.
Easiest thing I know of to get Alsa and a number of apps running
quickly.
Good luck,
Mark
