Hi Lee. Thanks for the reply. I was sort of half expecting someone to say
recompile the kernel, when I saw that commented out snd-usb-audio module in
the kernel config file. The only kernel compile I've attempted is to get
Gentoo off the ground, which failed. Gentoo with system emerged stayed on the
drive to sweat it out (minus kernel) for 5 weeks. Got myself psyched up the
other day to have another go, and went for Genkernel. At least the system is
now up and running, but 30hrs of DL and compile to get KDE installed. I'll
get some info on compiling amother kernel, it's not so bad now I've got
Gentoo up and running. If it don't work I can revert to the original without
losing access to the system.
On the side. Did you ever get a sound recording for the Amtrak Acela (Email of
April 05). I've since been looking for a soundtrack I made while shooting
16mm footage of an A4 (Sir Nigel Gresley) steam loco. Going up a slight
gradiant, but really nice sounds. If you have got the sounds, I'd be
gratefull for them, and soon as I find the cassette, I'll send you mine.
Thanks again. Nigel.
