Re: Sound card problem

[Karthik Vishwanath <karthik northstar dartmouth edu>]

I just checked the snd-emu*.o files at work and at home and the filesizes 
are different, though I used the same alsa-package to install them. Can 
this be because I used RH 6.1 to compile one set, while I used 6.2 to 
compile the other? 

Thanks,
-Karthik.
