1 The problem is fixed now!
2 I tried the alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc3, which is used by the Redflag os,

4
5 It's very weird. Just as what I mentioned above, the 1.0.14_rc3
6 version one is a unstable one. I have tried both version 1.0.14,the
7 stable one that come out after 1.0.14_r3, and the 1.0.15_rc2 one, but
8 both of them can't drive my sound card. But now, the 1.0.14_rc3 fixed
9 it! It's a big surprise.
