And we have lift-off!

Finally I also got the sound working in CentOS5 now. It required rebuiding alsa-drivers, alsa-libs and alsa-utils from scratch. "From scratch" these days means no more than "configure; make; make install". Lucky me ;-)

After rebooting I ran into another snag: No MP3 support. As I had setup yum to use rpmforge repos, I was able to install gstreamer-plugins-ugly for the MP3 support (FedoraForum.org - How to multimedia xmms, rythmbox, ogle, etc.). Now that tis works, DVD support is next. I have tried the Hotkeys in the meantime, but wasn't able to get them running: Pressing the WLAN button actually DISabled the WLAN interface ;-)
