Lee,
Thanks, I agree completely. People complain about microsoft, but,
please... No casual user should be expected to traverse this mess just
to install a SB card in Linux. I am not a hardware person or a linux
administrator, as you can tell :)
I will look into the rawhide and ca0106. Wish me lots of luck.

Please, please, file a Fedora bug report. We are really being inundated
with support requests from FC3 users whose sound doesn't work for a
variety of stupid reasons. This is 2005, inexperienced Linux users
should not still have to be building drivers from source to get their
sound to work. I guarantee you if Red Hat made the user experience vis
a vis sound a priority then these problems would magically go away
overnight. For example I can't remember the last time a SuSE user
showed up on LAU with inexplicably non working sound.

On a more useful note maybe you can get newer ALSA RPMS from rawhide or
something. You do need the ca0106 driver for the 24 bit SB live.
