Dear authors and users of ALSA
drivers!
I want to ask you a few questions
associated with usage and proper
compilation of ALSA drivers. I have Mandrake Linux 8.0 with kernel 2.4.8-12mdk that I downloaded (with sources as well). Unfortunately I found out that module snd.o doesn't offer /proc/asound/dev entry in proc filesystem in this compiled kernel version, as it did in the original Mandrake 8.0 kernel 2.4.3-20mdk. (2.4.3-20mdk contains ALSA version 5.10b, and 2.4.8-12mdk -- 5.11.) One has to create static devices manually (or with script) on /dev tree to hear sound via ALSA in my kernel. This is not all. The program to work with ALSA -- alsaplayer refuses to do it via ALSA for the reason of absence of /proc/asound/dev entry, I think. If we run it from console we see that its ALSA output plugin cannot be loaded, and the playback is via OSS emulation. (Besides alsaplayer behaves buggy in this mode.) Again, everything goes well in 2.4.3-20mdk. Tell me please the
following.
How to compile ALSA for Mandrake Linux with /proc/asound/dev support (maybe I need the command line of ./configure script, or kernel spec file from kernel-src of 2.4.3-20mdk). How to include kernel parameters properly (I mean CONFIG_DEVFS_FS in info.c and probably others). Thank you in advance,
Grant L. Atoyan |
