12 Einar, could you please expand on your point? I might be dense, but I
13 can't understand what inconvenience you are talking about. ;^)

15 alsa-driver package, indeed, requires linux sources to compile.

17 headers, installed by the alsa-driver package; so it requres the
18 kernel sources indirectly...
