Alsa is very easy to install. Download the tar.bz2s and compile them. It
only takes maybe 20 minutes to do. In fact you will find that they are
probably better than the OSS drivers. 2.5 kernels also now use alsa
instead of oss.
cd alsa-driver
./configure
make
make install
./snddevices
Now load the module with modprobe
#modprobe snd-intel8x0
check out the howto to setup modules.conf
cd alsa-lib
./configure
make
make install
cd alsa-oss
./configure
make
make install
cd alsa-utils
./configure
make
make install
now test it
alsamixer - set the volume that is probably defaulted to mute and 0
volume
aplay /usr/share/sounds/{somekde}.wav
As for the TCL drivers they are now included in the main branch of the
radeon driver from DRI. They have also been merged into the r200 branch
but I don't believe that branch works yet.
