A Selection of XMMS Skins?

Is there an apt package of XMMS Skins? I'm getting sick of the default one. I searched with 'apt-cache search xmms', that, however, didn't find anything. I then tried googling--that just found me RPMS--yuck! The archive (here) doesn't seem to have anything on this either... Does one have to

update-modules, sound on boot-up

I have a frustrating little problem with sound on boot-up. Sound works if I manually load the required sound module: - $ su # modprobe emu10k1 Result: Get great sound. :) Then I try to make it permanent: - # update-modules - Then a re-boot to test... Result: To my surprise on

gcc the kernel, supermount (?)

I have a couple of newbie-ish questions. (1) How does one set the compiler when compiling the (linux) kernel? I had the impression it was just a few settings in 'Makefile' and that it just entails changing the following: --- (Makefile) HOSTCC = gcc HOSTCXX = g++ --- to ---

ALSA problem - TV tuner no sound

I recently upgraded kernels (2.6.18-4-k7 - 2.6.11-1-k7) and sound systems (OSS - ALSA). Sound, aside from the TV tuner, works fine. My TV tuner worked like a snap under OSS and made use of the following drivers: bttv bt878 I've discovered that 'bttv' is need for 'xawtv' to load. It appears

ALSA TV tuner problems persist -- no sound :(

Hi, I'm still struggling with my tv tuner card. I described the problem here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/07/msg00340.html (ALSA problem - TV tuner no sound) The short of the long of it: sound works-- but not for the TV tuner. Chris Lane had a few good suggestions:

Addendum to: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/07/msg01181.html I'm a big leap ahead. I had a silly problem related to the volume (it was near zero). The fix is: # apt-get install aumix $ aumix The TV tuner volume is influenced by the CD volume setting. Currently, I have a
