The issue I'm trying to get an answer to is general, in that I'm curious 
about the relationship between kernel modules compiled for an official 
FC kernel and the modified kernels from PlanetCCRMA, especially the edge 
kernels. Is the base kernel that you modify from Fedora, or from Linus' 
tree? You create new alsa modules for all(?) PlanetCCRMA kernels; is 
this a requirement for all kernel modules? Is there any difference 
between compiling a module towards the FC kernels and towards the Planet 
ones?

I'll be thankful for any answer, and I won't be resentful for getting 
none: I just hope... ;-)

Best regards,
Frode
