Not sure if this is the right mailing list but here goes. As someone with a deep dislike of ALSA, I like OSS as on most computers I've replaced ALSA with it on, it has worked beautifully. The one computer where it doesn't seem to work is my desktop computer. It's a pretty powerful guy so it can blow through the typical Pulseaudio/ALSA problems that lower spec computers of mine have, but it is a 64-bit arch.
Basically, whether I compile from source or install packages (I've tried the RPM on Fedora 12, and the DEB on Ubuntu 9.10, what I'm running now), I've noticed the kernel locks up whenever I try to load the kernel modules. It detects the sound card (an Intel ICH10 chipset) correctly, but everything goes straight to hell (i.e. mouse frozen, virtual terminals inaccessible, Alt+Sysrqs not working) when the modules attempt to load. I thought this was just on my old distro (Fedora 12) but when I switched I noticed the exact same problem. I have successful OSS4 installs on 32 bit machines, which makes me think this might be a 64-bit problem, or maybe less broadly, just something with my hardware config that is causing the kernel crashes. I am willing to reproduce the crash if you guys can tell me what kind of diagnostics you'd like me to run to help you pin down the issue. Thanks, -- Sherwin A.
