[alsa-devel] Upgrading alsa drivers. current and hg from suse site

[Nigel Henry]

I try to help folks now and then with sound problems. I don't have an hda 
intel card, but try to point folks in the right direction to get help.

Question:
I've sorted out the upgrading of the alsa driver on Fedora, Archlinux, and 
Debian, even though I don't need too, as my audigy2 soundblaster, and on the 
other machine, an ensoniq (ens1371) are fine. this was from the latest 1.0.15 
release at http://alsa-project.org.

My question is to do with the nightly hg releases obtainable from.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/

Will these install using the same ./configure, make, (su to root), then make 
install, as with upgrading to the current 1.0.15 version from. 
http://alsa-project.org.

Sorry if this is a trivial question, but I don't want to give bad information 
to folks looking for help.

I've only recently subscribed to the alsa-devel list, and hadn't realised how 
much effort was being put in to resolve soundcard problems, particularly hda 
intel ones.

Great work folks. I'm not clued up enough to help out, but do appreciate your 
hard work.

Nigel.
