[gentoo-user] alsa-update not in sync with kernel version

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I am running a vanilla kernel (linux-2.6.32.11), This kernel uses
alsa-1.0.21.

When doing the eix-sync-thingy, emerge always suggests to update
to alsa-1.0.22.

Is there a way that emerge/eix or whatever relizes the version of
alsa which the kernel is runnig and only suggests updates which are
in sync which such version?

Best regards,
mcc

The 1.0.22 userspace tools work fine with the drivers in 2.6.32.

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last
week. Time to die.

Do you have media-sound/alsa-driver installed?  If so, that is the
cause of your problem -- just emerge -C alsa-driver.  That package
is only for people who are testing/debugging alsa-drivers (or using
prehistoric kernels on new hardware).

  Nice to hear, Neil, but is this also true for other combinations
  of versions in the near or fat future? 
  That was the reason of my question...

Hi,

what's about people who compile software which needs the alsa-stuff,
for example libraries and headers?

If the situation ever arises where certain userspace versions  only work
with certain kernel versions, I'm sure the devs will set up the ebuilds
accordingly.

You install media-sound/alsa-headers and media-libs/alsa-lib
