cool - did this, getting the 2.6.10-0.6.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma kernel, which
brought in the 1.08 alsa module. thanx!

a question, though - does it matter that the alsa-driver/alsa-lib etc
packages are still the 1.09 ones? cos if i select to downgrade to the
1.08 versions of those packages, that's when synaptic wants to start
wholesale uninstalling ...
