Hi,
here is the output:

I am not very familiar ALSA and the kernel, so what did my sequence of
command compile? I believed it compiled the driver, as the output of
module assistant was a file named
"alsa-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64_1.0.18.dfsg-1+2.6.26-13_amd64.deb". I
believed that a module is a runtime loadable driver.


Also, I remember I did submit the bug to ALSA at
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4165 , but in a
very unfortunate manner. I'll have to fix that incoherent report.
