looking in config.log, it seems that my snd-card info is not found in libasound:
configure: In function `main': configure:1966: warning: return type of `main' is not `int' configure:2017: checking for snd_cards in -lasound configure:2036: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -lasound -lasound conftest.c -lasound 1>&5 /tmp/cc3DUBTK.o: In function `main': /tmp/soundapps_archive/xmms-alsa-0.4.1/configure:2032: undefined reference to `snd_cards' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: failed program was: #line 2025 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ /*char snd_cards();*/ int main() { snd_cards() ; return 0; } does this mean that i should reconfigure/recompile the alsa-driver0.9beta12 with some extra flags or is there something that i can add/omit to/from the xmms' configure file? i don't know if it has anything to do with it but during the alsa driver configuration i had to symlink to /boot/System.map rather from /lib/modules/blah_blah_blah which didn't have the System.map file. aplay plays .wav 's and i can get sound out from (only) one program (pd). one other thing. my card has four channels i/o (delta44). i read that there have been problems with soundapps (say alsaplayer) and multichannel i/o. As you can see i'm reaching blindly for what the problem might be. if someone has had similar problems with installing alsa apps and have found ways around it, it would great if they could share there ways of fixing it or point me in the right direction(s). is there an alsa-archive somewhere? -thanks mark k.
