It was a PEBKAC error. I built the new kernel but forgot to make it the default at bootup. They say that memory is the second thing to go, I forget what the first is.
Anyhow I had ALSA 1.0.13 in the kernel, with 1.0.14 alsa-lib and alsa-utils. That obviously doesn't work. OK, so I've now set up the kernel properly, and rebooted, re-emerged alsa-lib and alsa-utils and audacious and audacious-plugins, but am still having the same problems (audacious and mpg123 which use ALSA, die; Realplayer and mpg321 get by with the OSS api on ALSA). revdep-rebuild doesn't find anything wrong. What do I do now to recover ALSA functionality? emerge --world? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security? A.
