I am having lots of problems getting the oss emulation to work in 0.alsa-drivers-5.11. I think it is because I have a tv tunner card. I have support (bttv) for it compiled into my kernel (2.4.10) and hope that I don't have to recompile without it. I have searched every where and only found one person with a similar problem and his solution does not seem to affect me. I am able to play sound files with aplay and can even get xmms to work by using a patch to use the alsa driver. The main problem is that I want esound to work and it doesn't compile for 0.5.x drivers with alsa support and I can't use the oss compatibility. Thank you for any and all help.
