Ok, here's the latest on the Alsa drivers.
Sine the only way to use the FreshRPMs was to use the latest, 0.9.0rc5,
because they're the only ones that matched my kernel, Damien asked if I
would compile an older version since that wouldn't be kernel version
specific. Just for the heck of it, and to make sure it wasn't just the
packaging done by Freshrpms, I compiled the latest version, rc5.
Likewise, the compiled version crashed my system shortly after a
connection was established.
So it was then on to rc3, the version that Damien asked me to compile
from the start. Bingo. It works without crashing. So iguess that
would lead one to believe that there is a compatibility issue between RH
8, rc5, and Gnomemeeting.
So the summary answer for anyone running Red Hat 8 and who wants or
needs to use the Alsa driver - compile the older Alsa 0.9.0rc3.
Now to figure out a few weird things with my new audio... But at least
it doesn't crash.

System crashing means a driver bug. As me, and many other people who are
using ALSA have no problem, it would indicate a Redhat 8.00 bug.
Did you have system crashing when using GnomeMeeting before using ALSA?
No. It worked great.
Did you compile ALSA yourself?
No. Used freshRPMs.
I'm doing a bit of looking elsewhere also. I'd rather not remove ALSA
until I give it a fair workout so I'm looking forward to fixing this....

Being the compulsive tinkerer that can't leave well enough alone, I
decided to install ALSA on my RH 8.0 system. Why? I have no idea other
than a lot of people say very positive things about ALSA. I followed
the directions on the freshrpms and ALSA sites to install. Set a few
things in alsamixer and voila! Everything seemed to work.
Until I fired up Gnomemeeting. A few seconds after connecting with
anyone (I've tried two different people) my system locks up tighter than
a (pick your metaphore). Mouse is frozen, no keyboard, yadda yadda.
Requires a hard boot. Thank goodness for ext3, eh?
All my other apps that I've tried so far seem to work well. At least
those that deliver audio. I don't have any other apps that use the mic.
So even though I'm fairly certain that this is not a Gnomemeeting issue
since it seems that a lot of people use ALSA with Gnomemeeting, I
thought I'd ask here for help. After all, people here are nice and
besides, I'm not subscribed to an ALSA list. :)
Not sure what info is needed to track this down. Here's my modules.conf
(I'm sure it will wrap horribly):
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 eepro100
# alias sound-slot-0 es1371
# post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
/dev/null 2>&1 || :
# pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
/dev/null 2>&1 || :
post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias char-major-81 bttv
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
# 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
I really appreciate any pointers you can give to get this thing fixed so
that I don't have to back out the ALSA stuff. In case it's not obvious
from the modules.conf file, my card is an Ensoniq ES1371. CPU is a AMD
k6-2 400. I used the RPMs available on the freshrpms site.
Thanks!
