This bug is not fixed. Now when installing oss-compat, it recommends osspd. However, installing osspd forces and uninstall of oss-compat. There is a warning given that oss-compat is a dependency of aumix. It is not until I tried to reinstall oss-compat and osspd was uninstalled that it said osspd provides oss-compat. This leads me to wonder why there was a dependency warning. The package aumix should be marked as depending on osspd or oss-compat if oss-compat is provided in both.
This still leaves aumix without the correct device. Neither of these packages provide an emulated or linked device for /dev/mixer which is required for aumix. I suppose one simply should not install aumix in the first place, but I think things would just be simpler if Ubuntu put OSS modules back in the kernel so that `modprobe snd_mixer_oss` would work. It would also make many people frustrated with PulseAudio much happier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659024 Title: fatal errors installing oss-compat, snd_pcm_oss module not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oss-compat/+bug/659024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
