You should read the warning before this carefully.
The driver installer will probably mention what version of gcc
your kernel has been compiled with in the first place, and
the version of gcc that you now have in Linux.

If your kernel compiles with only the older compiler, you will
need to get the driver compiled together using the older gcc.
Which was, in my case, 4.1. That's why I set the way I wrote:
CC=gcc-4.1

Roland's USB sound cards (interface) are again almost perfect in work
with Linux. Try one with an audio amplifier with digital input terminal,
then you should be happy with that. Their latest 24bit/96kHz
UA-4FX with MIDI interface seems to work and very cheap here:
