Re: [linux-audio-dev] Help: native ALSA 0.9b5 apps refuse to work, OSS apps work

[Joe Pfeiffer]

   So what do you suggest Paul ?

   Is my problem normal  ?
   (I can't even run alsactl store, while  apps in OSS emulation mode work 
   perfectly) 

   I did nothing special except , compiling the latest (0.9b5() alsa-driver, 
   alsa-lib and alsa-utils) and installed them.

   0.5 versions worked without any problems but now the 0.9 version refuses to 
   work.

Ah...  did you upgrade the alsa utils along with the driver?

   Wasn't there something like alsaconf sometime ago ? 

   We need something that eases the installation process, it's definitively way 
   to hard to get it working.

Yes, there is an alsaconf program.  As of earlier this week, the most
current Debian version is 0.4.3b-4.
