This is announced at the same time we have a poll asking the number of times the OS on your main computer crashes. If this IS "from the crashy-crashy" dept. then I'd have to say this is an interesting coincidence. Or is it?

No! Common error, though. 'make toothpick' satisfies a dependency for 'make clean'. You can't 'make clean' until you 'make toothpick'. It's just too difficult. :)

That's one way, but I chose to seperate those two targets for code portability. For example, in another app, I 'make toothpick' and 'make moistened_peas' as preparation for 'make little_model_bridge'.

I think that was meant as a general warning - never play anything with Rush. At least I haven't done it, as far as I now. And even if it shouldn't affect ALSA at all, one may better be on the safe side.
