Thanks for the reply...
I probably need to be more specific here. I have a driver that works well with OSS under Red Hat 9. When I reinstalled my system using Fedora Core 1, I did not need OSS any more. I have nice sound coming from my speakers using ALSA. When I try to run my existing binary that makes OSS calls on top of Fedora that is using an ALSA driver for my soundcard, I get some strange behaviour, some of the calls don't work the same. For example, the card supports full-duplex but the ALSA driver seems to think it will only support half-duplex. When I try to set the sampling rate on the 16-bit interface, I get an error (cant remember which one right now). So my thought was, especially after reading the docs, i.e. the HOWTO-0.9 or something like that, that I should just rewrite the driver to make ALSA type calls. That's when I discovered that I dont have this header file. So, I obviously have a working ALSA subsystem, since my soundcard works with the CD player for example. All I really need to do is get to a place where I can write a program making ALSA API calls. Thats what I need help to do. Now, is it really necessary for me download all the source and rebuild it and all that to accomplish this task?

Miller Cc: alsa-devel Subject: Re: [Alsa-devel] writing user program for alsa under fedora core 1 Your best bet is to download the sources and build the packages. That way you'll know exactly what you've got. Also, at some point you may have to go into the libraries and do some debugging. Jan On Sat, 2004-05-29 at 19:02, Frank W.
