No, you don't, sorry, mental aberration there.
You can pick up a copy from:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=aadebug
The rest of the site is well worth browsing too.

Basically, yes, this is the case. It's an awful lot less brain strain to
install A/DeMuDi-1.2.0 to hard drive (Don't use the Knoppix version for
installation, it's fraught with future problems).
1.2.0 installs in under an hour, if the liveCD boots ok, you should have no
problems with the 1.2.0 installer. It will probably take the rest of the week
to configure it all the way you want it. You will find it considerably more
rewarding than fiddling around with the 1.1.1 LiveCD.
