I tried harddrake yesterday. Both were stopped and neither would start
I checked the "On boot" boxes for both and tried again. Still nothing.
So I try again today. Yoday it shows
    alsasound is running  
    alsa is stopped

I tried "Start" for alsa and it said:
Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...[OK]
Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.2c)...[OK]

Now it doesn't say it shutdown ONE driver for ANOTHER.

Hmmm....maybe the kernel is still trying to use the OLD version compiled into it?
I don't know how to get around that...unless I try to compile the kernel with alsa
enabled--(this would be my first time compiling a kernel).  Don't know if that's a
good idea or a bad one.

I figured I'd take the "easy" way and run it as a module just to see if I can
EVER get ardour to work!  (been trying since March)

I'll study up on that one.

Yep.  That's where I got my latest version of ardour to try.  I used urpmi on the
entire  ardour-0.9beta16.1  RPM from there.   I figured (hoped) that it would take
care of all those nasty dependencies.  But if I have an old version floating aournd
in the kernel, well, I've got a whole lot more studying to do...
