alsa multiple cards on 1.x

[softwaregurl]

booting on 1.3 and 1.4 and the latest alsa.tcel both bttv (v4l2) sound and es18xx cards and alsa-oss load but fails to create /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer.  i have been having some alsa problems on debian too after an update.  i see some "fix me"'s in alsaconf and one looks like it might be multiple cards.  running any of the alsa scripts just unloads everything.  this is what worked for me in the alsa setup script

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

[ -e /etc/udev/rules.d/25-alsa.rules ] || sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/udev/rules.d/25-alsa.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/25-alsa.rules
if [ -f /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa ]; then
[ -e /dev/dsp ] || sudo mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3 && chmod 666 /dev/dsp
[ -e /dev/mixer ] || sudo mknod /dev/mixer c 14 3 && chmod 666 /dev/mixer
fi

with this both cards autodetect on boot and everything works.
should mention that it is the update to tcb that loads the modules.  this also works on another computer with only one card.
