For example drivers for emu10k1 from sourceforge works fine, and I do not need all sequencer and sound font futures from alsa (althought its possible to enjoy some of that with that OSS driver). I use alsa to record sound in stereo according to mencoder capture futures (sound still is hasardous - works or not). Generally OSS for listeening and recording without edition is better idea - lither and much more stable (2-4 modules instead of 8-12). I work in DTP. So Linux is only hobby - I know a few people, but no one (of them) live in Warsaw - all information from net. And finally e-mail only at work (I heate polish phone company) so no abilities to make something regularly. uff - Do not complain. - I won't more. Like I wrote - try 0.1.5 version of saa and maybe other soft - zapping, MPlayer, grep http://sourceforge.net/. But xawtv for watching tv is the best what I found. See you toomorow.
