If the proper ALSA driver is loaded, the directory /proc/asound should be populated.

Open the xine setup window, click on the "audio" tab and scroll to the item labelled "audio driver to use". > I made an assumption that kernel 2.6 provided alsa without additional > configuration other than loading the hardware drivers. It should mostly work. When I upgraded to kernel 2.6 earlier in the year, I had a problem with the OSS module being loaded first before the ALSA module. Putting the offending OSS module name in /etc/hotplug/blacklist allowed the ALSA module to finally load. -- steven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
