Re: [linrad] Hanging of Linrad when attempting to configure audio card

Hi Joe,

I very strongly would recommend you to download OSS not to waste your time!
I have tried free ALSA and one in distributed driver many times but all 
were failed.
Leif had the same experience too.
I recall that one person in the reflector got success with ALSA but don't 
know who.

Once again, just go ahead and download the evaluation version!

have in trying to get Linrad operational.

solution as it is my understanding that this capability is part of the 
Redhat Linux release.
