[mythtv] Re: Myth TV and Alsa

[Steven J. Finnegan]

Matt:
I seem to have serious problems with the ALSA site, but I did manage to 
have a friend download the 4 modules and send them to me. Unfortunately, I 
can't reliably get to the site to troubleshoot. And you and I seem to have 
a similar hardware/software configuration, so I hope you can answer some 
questions for me. (I am using a MS-6368 Motherboard, RH9, and WinTV-PVR250.)

When I compile with the instructions for the "via82xx" sound architecture
         ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes;make;make 
install
I get...
         <big snip>

         else \

                 done \
         fi

         elif [ -d /etc/rc.d/init.d ]; then \
           install -m 755 -g root -o root utils/alsasound 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound; \
         elif [ -d /etc/init.d ]; then \
           install -m 755 -g root -o root utils/alsasound

         fi

Do you recall the exact command you used to configure/install ALSA? I've 
read about "touching" .../include/linux/workqueue.h, but this didn't seem 
to make any difference
