For some reason alsa 0.9.8 (I'll try upgrading but don't see anything in the
changelog to suggest it will help) is interfering with my gameport
joystick. When the snd-via82xx module is installed the joystick doesn't
work, when I rmmod it the joystick works again (but I have no sound). I
notice from lsmod that snd-via82xx apparently depends on the gameport
module (as do the ns558 and analog modules, which should.) I think alsa
must be somehow hijacking my gameport. How can I stop it?
Thanks
Mikey
