[PlanetCCRMA] Dell M50 anyone? Problems setting up ALSA with alsaconf.

[rob switzer]

Rodney,
	
	I've installed the planet successfully on an m50, under both rh9 and
fc1, so have hope -- it *will* work!

	Are all the requisite alsa components installed?  You should have
alsa-kernel, alsa-lib, alsa-driver and alsa-utils.

	To check for these, you can use Synaptic or do rpm -qa | grep alsa as
root.

	Good luck!

best,
rob switzer
