I decided to create a guide on how to update alsa via rpm, and reference that guide from the audio troubleshooting guide. The audio troubleshooting guide contains an openSUSE-10.3 example for updating alsa via rpm, but I've had so many newbies ignore (or misread) the text and send the wrong zypper command, it is making me think I need to be more explicit for each possible (mainstream) openSUSE-10.2, 10.3 and 11.0 (when it is released) kernel (and bigsmp) configuration.

My first draft is here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Alsa-update

Again, it is intended to be a referenced compliment from the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide here:
http://en.opensuse.org/AudioTroubleshooting

I "guessed" at the openSUSE-10.2 zypper commands (as I no longer have a 10.2 system, and I am not a zypper user), so can a 10.2 user review that? Please keep suggestions as succinct as practical.

And I have no idea as to the 10.1 commands as:
a. package management was broken in 10.1 and
b. I am a smart package manager user, and never used yast software management in 10.1 very much.
Hence some succinct suggestions/comments there for 10.1 from a 10.1 user would be helpful.

I'm moving the audio troubleshooting guide to this URL:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AudioTroubleshooting

I'll put a link in the old, to the new.

I can't speak to the command terminology for zypper in 10.1/10.2, but if you're looking for general feedback, it looks very good to me structure and info wise.

For the 10.3 section, have you thought about creating one of those 1-click thingies to automatically install the repo and download the appropriate packages? Would be pretty slick, and might make things easier for the new users. Should be portable to 11.0 when it's released as well.

Anyways, just a thought... Does look good as is, though.

Cheers,
KV
