[ale] FW: [suse-multimedia-e] rec command

[George Johnson]

Here finally is the answer to my problem running the rec command after my
upgrade to SuSE 8.  It now works like a champ.  I looked all over the SuSE
site and found the email list that dealt with multimedia.  I had an answer
the next day.

  Hope I can help a little here. Is the card a sblive? If it is, there's two
suse rpm's for alsa on suse's site that you need to download and install.
Read the instructions for the installation of them too...the 'driver' rpm
needs the --force' option when installing it. Go here:

  <http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/thallma_alsaup_80.html>

you'll find the rpm's and the instructions there.
