OK, got those in. Couldn't find much of a config utility, so I tried
/etc/init.d/alsad start
Neh, doesn't load modules or anything. I did "modproble snd-via82xx" and
that seemed to load a heap of ALSA modules. Tried "/etc/init.d/alsa
start" and didn't get an error.
Sound files still play back nearly twice as fast as they should, but now
I don't hear any sound at all!
I fire up AlsaMixer and noticed that there's a line saying
Item: Master [Off]
which I assumed was the culprit, but nothing saying "On" in the Help.
Eventually I figured that the M key might be worth trying, and now I
have Alsa running - with even speedier "Chipmunk" effects. I did try all
available Alsa config options in XMMS, until Blondie's Atomic became too
painful to listen to.
I'm hoping there's more to Alsa than this, and am open to non-anatomical
suggestions.
Vik :v)
