That is a sensible policy. Someone suggested however that they did OSS->ALSA on the es1371, when there is *nothing wrong* with OSS on that card. Also, for cards (like SBLive) where OSS works (just maybe isn't the greatest) the option should still be presented up front (expert mode only) in DrakX to use OSS, rather than just surprising people with it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
