After a week of fighting with my new M-Audio USB Quattro device I have solved a problem with our hardwared detection.
I used the standard alsa configuration lines in /etc/modules.conf, i.e.
alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio
above snd-usb-audio snd-pcm-oss
but when restarting alsa, the OSS driver was loading first (module name 'audio'), and then the alsa driver was unable to access the PCM stream. By adding 'audio' to /etc/hotplug/blacklist, everything worked fine.
Is there some way to fix this permanently?
Is everyone else with usb-based audio currently forced to use OSS when Mandrake's default should be alsa?
