Please, this is getting a little confusing.
Incidentaly I've just download all the ALSA packages from freshrpms 
today. Up to now, I'm running ALSA compiling it from source, but I'd 
like to give the RPMs a try (I want to install other RPMs that depend on 
ALSA, and I don't want to spend time with the dependences, trying to 
convince these RPMs that I have alsa-lib even if I don't have the RPM...)

I downloaded the following packages:
alsa-utils-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm
alsa-driver-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr.i386.rpm
kernel-module-alsa-1.0.0-0.rc2.1.fr_2.4.22_1.2129.nptl.athlon.rpm

Is that Ok? Is there anything else I should take care of? (btw, I have 
an Athlon machine, and the last kernel for FC1)
I don't understand what's the difference between the alsa-driver and the 
kernel-module-alsa packages. Do I need both?

I'd like if someone can calrify this issues.
Thanks!
