 Hi guys. I've got Alsa compiled and running fine on my RedHat 7.2 machine 
 (using KDE 3.0.7 and one SoundBlaster PCI512). I've just got a few quirks 
 that I'm trying to work out, and have found no answers to them yet. First 
 off, I get this in my logwatch daily:
 
 - ModProbe Begin  
 
 Can't locate these modules:
sound-service-3-0: 4 Time(s)
sound-slot-1: 4 Time(s)
sound-slot-2: 4 Time(s)
sound-slot-3: 4 Time(s)
sound-service-1-0: 4 Time(s)
sound-service-2-0: 4 Time(s)

these are module aliases called from soundcore.o if no corresponding
sound device is found.
since kde supports multiple devices (as default two devices), the
system may probe the non-existing device occasionally.

you can change the number of devices on kde control center.
also, adding aliases would be fine, too, just like

alias sound-slot-1 off
alias sound-slot-2 off
alias sound-service-1-0 off

etc, etc..


 Everything seems to work great, but I'm sorta' curious about those messages 
 from logwatch. Also, I don't know if it's any relation or not, but when open 
 a page with Konquorer that contains a midi, it locks the window up 
 completely. Trying to go into kcontrol and clicking on midi also locks that 
 window up. Don't know if this might be related to the modules problem above 
 or what, but it's something I would sure like to get fixed.

the latter is most likely irrelevant.


ciao,

Takashi

I get that too every now and then. What it means is that some software
using OSS tried to access what would be the 2nd sound card (or even the
3rd one in your case). In my case Audacity always does that (I have 2
sound cards, so Audacity always wants to load sound-slot-2, no idea why).
You can get rid of all these messages in the log if you add lines like
this to your modules.conf:
alias sound-slot-1 off
alias sound-slot-2 off
etc. This will make it stop complaining. This still does not answer the
question what gave it the idea to even try for the 3rd sound card :)



  -- ModProbe End -

 Here's a copy of my modules.conf file:

 alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
 alias eth0 tulip
 alias usb-controller usb-uhci
 alias char-major-195 NVdriver

 # ALSA portion
 alias char-major-116 snd
 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
 # module options should go here

 # OSS/Free portion
 alias char-major-14 soundcore
 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

 # card #1
 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
 alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
 alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
 alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
 alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

 Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
