Subject: Is ALSA broken in 2.5.70?

Can anyone help me figure out why ALSA is not working on my 2.5.70-bk1
setup? I tried ALSA 0.9.2 with 2.4.21-rc5 and it worked. I tried 0.9.3c
with 2.4.21-rc5 and it didn't work. I'm thinking I did not catch
something important in the last change.
I'm running RedHat 9 with KDE as my desktop.
I have a AC'97 CMI9739A SiS7012 onboard sound device.
I am using the intel8x0 driver. Everything is configured as defined in
the ALSA Documentation in the kernel doc directory. I also looked for
more help from the ALSA site, but I can't find any help.
Has anyone gotten it to work under 2.5.70?
I have all of ALSA compiled as modules in my config except for pci
modules which I only have the intel8x0 selection as a module.

Thanks,
David

Apply the two patches by Al Viro or wait for -bk2.

Were the patches in -bk2? If so, then they didn't help me any.
Still no sound in -bk2.

Thanks,

On the other hand, I am having no problems using alsa in my
2.5.70-bklatest. I do have to load the OSS API emulation, but otherwise
there are no anomalies. I am including my lsmod output, lspci output, and
configuration in case it helps.

Might the problem be incompatible versions of the alsa utilities and
libs you are using with the alsa modules in the kernel? I don't know,
just a suggestion. Feel free to flam...

I'm using alsa-lib 0.9.3, alsa-utils 0.9.3, alsa-tools 0.9.3 ALSA's OSS
compatibility library 0.9.1.
For 2.4.21-rc5, I'm using 0.9.2 since 0.9.3 does not give me sound.
For 2.5.70-bk3, I'm using whatever is in it. I believe it is a version
of 0.9.2, but I am not entirely sure.

Thanks,
David
