Using a kernel module from old Linux kernel in a new Linux kernel

That's probably why I get the "no symbol version for module_layout" error; because the newer kernel depends on something that is not in the old kernel module. >Another option would be to use the working kernel from Intrepid.

Could you point me in the direction that could show me how to accomplish this? I'd very much like to try both Feisty's and Gutsy's kernel here in Karmic (and all subsequent kernels from the various Ubuntu releases), because, as far as I remember, the sound was perfect back then. Perhaps just to verify that the distorted sound is not the result from a bug in ALSA or Pulseaudio but _is_ something that has changed in snd_ice1724, and, perhaps, report it as as a bug in this module if the error persists when using these kernels.

I really wonder what Amarok version you have there. Amarok 2.2 final is out today, the beta version aka 2.190 is already in Karmic beta, but I have no such option as "Add URL" for adding a radio stream in my Amarok (2.2-git of this morning) here. Where do you try to add this stream? Sine we do talk about a radio stream, not a podcast, right? The menu "Playlist -> Add stream" works flawlessly here. Of course you must make sure the actual stream server is online, we still can't work miracles... Could you please paste the URL of the stream here so I can try?
