This distro is based on Fedora-12, but from what I've seen, Fedora-12 
provides alsa version 1.0.21.  I'd love to install the new one by RPM 
but haven't found it anywhere.  Was it on the original distribution 
CD's, or do you have a link to it?  I tried the rpm from ATrps, but it 
required the Fedora-13 kernel.
