Understood and not a problem. Since oss is working fine I haven't
checked out alsa, but when the 2.2.17 kernel comes out I think I'll give
an upgrade a try and at that point I'll switch over to alsa. One
question though. As far as the kernel goes I usally just grab a tarball
from kernel.org and use it. I understand the SuSE kernel may have
patches I need so my question is . . . Do I need to wait for the 2.2.17
kernel to show up at SuSE or can I use the kernel.org tarball?
