I see what you mean, 1.0.11-5 is the latest available from Debian testing.

Do you mean you don't have the file? (it should be present on 64 Studio 
0.9.4).

If so, are you sure the format is correct? The entries I see in that 
file have the form:

0:7a = 2092

We are unlikely to upgrade ALSA before the 1.0 release of 64 Studio, I'm 
afraid. Have you tried building ALSA modules from the 1.0.12 source tarball?

Free, can you suggest an alternative method for Benoit?

Cheers!
