Hello all,

I have installed alsa 0.9.0-fr0rc6 using rpm packages found on freshrmps. I have followed the installation instructions from there but I seem to have a problem. The following are the symptoms :

Symptom 1 :When I load an application (whatever the application) I get strange throbbing noises which last for around a minute before stopping.
Symptom 2 If I try to play a Gnome Sound event, I first get silence then a weird noise which it seems is a deformed version of the sound that should have been player,
Symptom 3 : I cannot get XMMS to play with alsa-xmms. When I choose alsa as the output method, XMMS just hangs when I try to play music.
Symptom 4 : XXMS works fine when I select OSS as the output method.
Symptom 4 : Mplayer plays sound perfectly with OSS but can't get it to play with alsa.

I am in doubt because I think I followed well all the instructions on freshrmps.

I have loaded all the modules necessary for my card (a VIA 8233A chipset card) on RH 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0 :
snd-seq-oss 33600 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-midi-event 5672 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss]

d-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec]
soundcore 6500 5 (autoclean) [snd]
tdfx 38880 1

My modules.conf files looks like this :
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

#post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Anyone have an idea ?

Thanks in advance.
