Hi, Thanks for your quick reply Nick. I am not running devfs - it is not on those boxes.
Alsa is not an option - I have a program that I have written and it works fine (with OSS) on a third box. Trouble is, that third box has just one sound card. The third box has a es1371:5880 soundcard. Now, I have to run it with 6 cards (new requirement). No problem - sound is handled by classes etc, and it "should" just open up the new devices. Is it a codeing problem - yes - I don't want to spend time rewriting for alsa. The annoying thing is that getting these cards to go should just be a matter of a configuration somewhere. (Which in theory is minutes of work) So I prefer the configuration fix.
