|
From the latest GWN:
| Quote: | | In the past days there were a few changes to two ALSA packages, media-sound/alsa-firmware-1.0.14_rc2-r1 and media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.14_rc1-r1. These two ebuilds now make use of the ALSA_CARDS variable to decide which firmwares to install and which tools to build. The ALSA_CARDS was already being used by media-sound/alsa-driver package, so users of that package should be already done, as they most likely have that already set; for users using the in-kernel drivers, they should now properly set that variable, also. Please see /usr/portage/profiles/desc/alsa_cards.desc for a list of available ALSA_CARDS values. |
Does this change have any affect on those of us who use alsa built in the kernel (as opposed to the alsa-driver ebuild)? |

No need to feel embarrassed. We all know what being swamped can do to us.

Are you sure that even if we use the kernel alsa, we have theses packages :
media-sound/alsa-firmware-1.0.14_rc2-r1
media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.14_rc1-r1
I will check my system  |
