I see the 0.30 livecd has the echo drivers in the /lib/modules/2.6.13-1-multimedia/alsa folder but i think the problem is to use the multimedia kernel you have to install it to the harddrive and do the grub or lilo thiing to choose the multimedia off the harddrive install I posted a howto replace the knoppix livecd boot kernel and it would be cool to replace the 2.6.11 knoppix default kernel with the multimedia kernel so that we can use it by default but that will take some doing. I have an echo mia card and i guess only way to get it to work is to do a harddrive install of the livecd: it would also be really cool when the freebob drivers become more usable to include those as well. Marcos any chance of replacing the knoppix 2.6.11 with the multimedia kernel and modules? :))
