I am using Fedora Core 1. Although I would say that by now most of the thin=
gs=20
on the system is compiled and no longer running from Fedora RPM's.=20

Your solution worked. Thank you very much. I had seen references to this=20
script, but assumed that these device nodes (or other appropriate ones as=20
needed) would have been created during the kernel install. Perhaps that is=
=20
something that can be committed to 2.6.10 (if the appropriate eyes are=20
watching).=20

So I guess even if you are using the 2.6 ALSA drivers, you may still need t=
o=20
download the drivers and run that 'snddevices' script.  KDE is also now=20
seeing the ALSA subsystem.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to get MIDI and mic recording workin=
g=20
and I'll be set!=20
