ALSA 1.0.15 update test kernels available
by Chuck Ebbert
We are considering adding ALSA 1.0.15 to the Fedora 8 release. This
would get us up-to-date with the latest audio drivers and fix many
problems with audio drivers not working, or only partially working.
Test kernels for i686 and x86_64 are available at:
http://people.redhat.com/cebbert/kernels/F8/
Also, kernel 2.6.23.1-36 has the update and is now building.
It would be very helpful if people would test these kernels and reply
to this message with their experiences, so we can see if this update
causes any problems.

F8T3 and chess
by John Summerfield
Since the chess program lacks a library of games, and recalling my chess
hero of a while ago, I googled for some of Bobby's games.
I found this: http://www.chesscorner.com/games/download/fischer.zip, a
collection of 879 games (or so the website says).
I was a little surprised to find all the games in a single file, but I
really don't know anything about the pgn format except it's somewhat
intelligible to mortals:
[summer@potoroo ~]$ head -20 Download/fischer.pgn
[Event "?"]
[Site "New York,1848"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Fischer"]
[Black "Unknown"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B57"]
[Opening "Sicilian, Magnus Smith Trap"]
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Bc4 g6
7. Nxc6 bxc6 8. e5 dxe5 9. Bxf7+ 1-0
[Event "?"]
Unfortunately, "chess" can't open the file, it complains "unknown
character '..' where the two dots represent two characters I can't type
on this keyboard.
Those question marks really are question marks, they're not being used
to represent anything unprintable.
The question is, is this file invalid? Chess doesn't give me anything
useful (for example, the line number or the byte offset).
I then downloaded this http://www.pgnmentor.com/players/Tal.zip and some
other files from the same location, but chess can't open those either.
Has anyone had better fortune?

Sound on F8t3
by John Summerfield
I was fully updated yesterday. Today, the mirrors seem broken;-(
I'm using KDE desktop, and sound does not work on my HP DC7000 SFF.
Except that when I choose K/Administration/Sound card detection, it
works very well.
I've been playing with Control Center (kcontrol). The first time, I
chose it from the KDE menu, and when I chose sound, it locked up and had
to be terminated with force.
Subsequently I've run it from within konsole, and it does not lock up,
but it doesn't play sound either.
I do get an artsmessage, to the effect
"Sound system informational message" (yeah right, "does not work" is
informational?)
"Error while initialising the sound driver"
"device: default cannot be opened for playback (connection refused)"
"The sound system will continue, using the null device."
Further testing:
Autodetect doesn't.
OSS works.
ALSA does not.
ESD does not.
Is this something I should mention to BZ?
