Oh, that's not trouble. I don't know why I didn't think of that -
it's not like I've even used a stock or distro provided kernel for
years, and that's how I install nvidia drivers.
Please excuse me. I should have engaged my brain instead of my
keyboard.

You can just install new ALSA modules over the ones that come with your
kernel.
If ALSA is not built as modules but statically compiled into the kernel
then yes you are screwed. But all distros should be shipping ALSA as
modules these days. ALSA 1.0.9-rc1 has a bug that is fatal for
SBLive! users. Your system
will hang as soon as you play a sound. The Audigy is unaffected.
emu10k1 users, please wait for -rc2, or make sure to apply the fix I
posted to alsa-devel yesterday.
Hmm. Something just occured to me. I have alsa in my kernel now,
since I upgraded to 2.6.11.
What's my situation for updates? Am I buggered? Or is there a
userspace section that can be upgraded without a new kernel or kernel
patch? Lee
