The President of Opensound on SuSE's kernels, no responses so far, but I expect flaming fur to fly. As I've posted here on a few occasions, the first thing I do after a SuSE install is to bin the kernel. http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.2/0530.html

next msg in thread: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.2/0532.html

A little later in the thread there's a specific compile error. Turns out, 4front are populated by people who don't know anything about compiling kernels. And they ship kernel level drivers. Good one, but the laugh's on them

Once alsa had been part of the 2.6 kernel, I stopped using OSS. They've been shipping OSS for many years, you'd think they would know all there is to know.

You would, wouldn't you. But the compile error he points to is pure newbie stuff
