Hi, Well, apparently the build-in soundcard the Tyan 2380 comes with is a piece of junk (via82cxxx or whatever), and won't play sampling rates like 44100, so I can't get sound out of MPEG files (and I just found a bunch of Tex Avery MPEGS!!!). So I think I'll give ALSA a try. Anyone here using it? with kernel 2.4.0-test* ? -Yaron --
