I'm sorry, but I'm desperet

Hi all,

The question about whether someone had read the manual can, in some
cases, become a match that sets off an explosion.  If Chris has been
reading the manual, and something isn't clear that is preventing the
Alsa drivers from compiling properly, then he needs help to interpret
what he has read.  Sometimes reading the manual compounds the
problem.  

I think that Chris would be better served if his questions were
answered rather than inquiring as to his competency in reading man
pages.  

"Have you read the manual?", is a easy, quick and dirty solution to
someone's problem.  I know that it is important to understand
documentation, but sometimes one needs to talk to a human, not a
manual.  Sounds like Chris has been struggling with alsa for a long
time.  I can't help, don't know enough.  However, I do know that
configuring Alsa can be complicated and frustrating.  Let's not get a
bad rep like the Emacspeak list, guys.  Somebody, please give this guy
a hand.  

Ann P.
