Yes - I looked there. Nothing that stands out as being an alsa driver  
- snd_hwdep and snd_rawmidi being the closest but neither appears to  
provide the functionality of the inbuilt Alsa drivers in IT2005 nor  
the Alsa support referred to in the Maemo documentation.  And,  
unfortunately, I cannot find any documentation on how to use these  
modules.

Thanks - I made the mistake of assuming that since I was able to  
flash the 770 to IT2006 beta on OSX, then I could reflash it using  
the same. Oh well.

Yep - did that.  Nothing on Alsa, and I missed the flasher-2.0  
connection.

Many thanks for your help.
