Re: [alsa-devel] [alsa-announce] ALSA 1.0.21 release
To -> Kernel + ALSA Guru.
I'm trying to understand exactly how ALSA updates work.
Specifically I'm using Ubuntu Karmic (Kernel is 2.6.31-9) and I'm interested in testing all the X-Fi card driver fixes which are listed in the ALSA 1.0.21 release notes.
Someone clarify the process of how ALSA and Kernel updates work.
From the 1.0.20 Upgrade Guide it appears ALSA drivers are deposited in /lib/modules/... as part of the upgrade process.
Can someone verify this for me.
Thanks.

Download, extract, and compile alsa-driver-1.0.21.tar.bz2. Installing it will remove the existing version. You'll need to use sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload afterward, or reboot.
Karmic already carries significant fixes from alsa-lib-1.0.21.tar.bz2, so you're okay on that front.
