That's great news, do you have any advice on how to ensure these libs are removed cleanly?

Thanks.
Well, unfortunately I have some setbacks to report... After replacing the alsa libraries, the built-in sound has stopped working and my n800 will reboot when I play some types of sound files. Something's probably causing a kernel panic.

On the bright side I've noticed some maemo specific flags in the alsa-lib ./configure so maybe all is not lost.

If you are going to try this I'd recommend taking multimediad and esd out of your startup scripts to avoid reboot loops.

To move the libraries out of the way I moved /usr/lib/libasound* and /usr/lib/alsa-lib to a temporary directory.
