New page

We have an online <a href="alsa-doc/">installation docs</a> with a section for user contributed notes and additions which is accessed through the [[Matrix:Main|soundcard matrix]]. Feel free to make additions and contributions. This is the official reference for user docs.

We also have an [http://alsa.opensrc.org/ ALSA-HOWTO WIKI]. Feel free to make additions and contributions.

The online alsa-docs (above) have info on using the [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php?company=Generic&card=Generic&chip=Generic&module=Generic .asoundrc] file. There is also a basic overview [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/library-source/doc/asoundrc.txt here] and you can find more in the [http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=.asoundrc ALSA WIKI] and the [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html#pcm_plugins alsa-lib documentation].

Take a look at the latest <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/alsa/alsa-driver/INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file to read information about the newest drivers and their use. If you have questions ask on the [[Mailing-lists|mailing lists]].

Yes, from our main site - http://www.alsa-project.org .

Version is available in linux/include/sound/version.h

ALSA library has a copy of kernel header files and it is backwards
compatible with ALSA code 0.9 final (which is also in the 2.6 kernel
tree). In other words, you can use 1.0 packages without any problems.

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches .

or (use BitKeeper):

bk pull http://linux-sound.bkbits.net/linux-sound

or

simply copy files from the ALSA's alsa-kernel CVS module to relevant
locations in the 2.6 kernel tree.
