timer problems

[Barry Pollock]

use the alsa drivers.
they are compiled separately from the rest of the kernel. because the
timing is esential for the digital, speakup effects the kernel's timing in
order to perform its functions. alsa uses its own libraries which allows
it  to perform independantly.
although this may not be exactly what  happens, use the alsa drivers to
build your sound modules.
they are available from www.alsa-project.org you can download the drivers
the libraries utilites and anything you may need from ftp.alsa-project.org
build the drivers first
then the libries
then the utilities.
do not mix the versions
