Well, I got the files downloaded from a friend, as I still can't get to the 
ALSA site (my friend couldn't either this afternoon).
I believe my main problem was not "touching" the header file. Doing that 
seemed to help when loading the modules (no more symbol problems), but I 
would still get some kind of error during the build.

My problem now is enabling the TV output. Also, I just discovered that when 
playing back, my processor usage jumps to 100% (which probably explains the 
audio/video jitter. It may also explain why I can't watch live TV (hard 
lockup).

Shouldn't a pentium III 750MHz machine be able to handle playback? 
Especially with a PVR-350 card -- its supposed to be done in hardware!
