Ok, so when I build the driver with kernel = linux 2.6.3 its not updating the kernel source? So ill just go with the linux alsa then... I still run alsasound from init.d, right, despite the drivers being in the kernel?

Yes and no. I get no errors, but audio doesnt work. When I test audio and midi, and send midi out, the midi light flashes on the multiface, and when I run hdsploader, the host error light goes away.

Its not that I get clicking or intermittent sounds of any kind, I just get deas silence...
My audiodev is set to 3, but my /proc/asound/cards has just 0 -> maestro3 and 1 -> hdsp. Through experementation I found that the -alsa flang in conjunction with -audiodev 3 references the hdsp.

I ran this:
