I'm on my first {B}LFS install, and so far it's been great, but I can't
get my head round why I can't get any sound working.
It looked like the easiest thing to try would be to install mpg123 and the
relevant bits of ALSA, but after doing this I got only:
$ mpg123 some.mpg
Can't open /dev/dsp
A previous post directed me to 7.4.4 in the LFS book, and I created
/etc/modprobe.conf with the suggested install command. No change.
Then I read the earlier bits in 7.4.2, which appear to suggest that with
udev the /etc/modprobe.conf file isn't read, and that required modules
should be listed in /etc/sysconfig/modules. So I added snd-pcm and
snd-pcm-oss to /etc/sysconfig/modules. This gives rise to a boot-time
message saying that snd-pcm-oss doesn't exist.
I'm a bit stuck now, partly I suspect because I have a rather shallow
understanding of kernel modules. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
