I now believe that alsaconf only works with modules. Certainly, it
needs either dialog or whiptail, but I'm no longer convinced that it
serves a useful purpose if you build your own kernels - my main desktop
machine no longer uses any config files for alsa, other than the mixer
settings.
These are the kind of things that really ought to be in the book!
> First question: do you really have a problem ?
Yes, I can't play my mp3s!
I went ahead and built xmms, but I get the following message box when I
try to play any sound file:
Couldn't open audio
Please check that:
Your sound card is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the sound card
[OK]
xmms is using the ALSA plugin (libALSA.so), but it also fails with the
OSS driver.
In addition, "cat torvalds-says-linux.wav > /dev/audio" yields something
that sounds like it was captured off of a SETI satellite dish. It's
mostly static, but the actual pattern of the sound can almost be heard.
Thanks,
Ryan
