[ATrpms-users] alsa-driver and kmdl package for centos

[John Terry]

I have a rather silly question -- is the following set of packages a  
legit way to get a more up-to-date ALSA install?


#> rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-driver-1.0.22.1-82.el5      {from atrpms-testing}
alsa-kmdl-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.centos.plus-1.0.22.1-82.el5  {from  
atrpms-testing}
alsa-utils-1.0.17-1.el5   {from centos base}
alsa-lib-1.0.17-1.el5    {from centos base}

#> uname -a
Linux pluto 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 18:52:33  
EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


I'd expect that there'd be a dependancy to also bring alsa-lib and  
alsa-utils up to 1.0.22*, but isn't the case.

It's not working (of course), but, I thought I'd double check that I'm  
not making a really stupid assumption before raising the issue on the  
alsa forum.

Thanks,
