[hsflinux] unable to complie the alsa-linuxtant driver

[Linuxant Support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

with your setup, are you able to compile a stock alsa-driver available at:

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

With this simple test, it will be easier to see if the problem was 
introduced by alsa-driver-linuxant or this is a problem with alsa-driver 
itself.

Regards,
