Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa is ok, but it doesn't start

[Billybob <bi...@ve...>]

Hallo Frank Barknecht. Wie gehts es ihnen?

:) Ich spreche deustch!

heh, accually, I'm just learning it, anyway:
are you sure about that? I mean, when I start alsa it lists out that 
file and then the errors...
and if that isn't the module, then where would be the module that alsa 
compiled(because I did have emerge for the opl3sa2 card)?
I'll delete it(move to trash) and reboot when I get the time and see how 
everything goes.
Thanks for the suggestion.

aufwiedersehen!
