Hi, I'm using Debian woody. I didn't have any notable problems with getting ALSA installed, apart from some minor annoyance caused by debconf and the configure script using both via868 and via868a and not recognizing they are the same, but I have loads of trouble with devices.
For instance gnome2.2 complains about not being able to use /dev/sound/mixer right after you log in, and xmms won't play any media with it's default Output Plugin, OSS Driver 1.2.7 [libOSS.so]. I tried using alternate devices, but to no avail. Also gnome-volume-control center complains about /dev/mixer. This is what my /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 looks like: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 via686 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 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 In INSTALL there is a section on mapping ALSA PCM to OSS, but I don't know how to put that to work. Adding aliasses of that sort don't seem to help: alias /dev/sound/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss Can anyone shed some light on this?
