FC2 will come with kernel 2.6, which ships with ALSA as the sound system,
which means that Matthias won't have to maintain ALSA for much longer.
I suppose the drivers are in the 2.6 kernel that's in the same directory
as the alsa tools.
You're absolutely right concerning FC2, alsa and 2.6. But there seems to be
(again) some confusion with fedora.us, which is apparently rolling out alsa
packages for FC1/2.4 from what I've read here and there on various lists
(IIRC Michael Schwendt advertised the pending QA quite a bit).
I'm not quite sure what the original post was referring to.
