Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] OSS Audio Gone Again

[George <geboyd netzero net>]

Yes, but I'm not calling those modules! Everything dealing with ALSA is
commented out in my modules.config file. So they must be being loaded
from somewhere else.

To be honest, I'm not very fond of ALSA. I found it very hard to find
any descent documentation. I had to search the web extensively to find
much of anything. Also, the card matrix on ALSA's site is way behind the
the card modules that are actually being shipped with the ALSA packages.
I just happened to find my maestro3 driver in my kernel modules
directory.

The only thing that I could get working with ALSA is the ALSA mixer and
xmms with the ALSA plugin, although xmms's volume control wouldn't work
with it.

On a good note, GM CVS is still working now with the OSS driver.

Below is my ALSA Setup. 

# Sound Setup ALSA
# ALSA portion
#alias char-major-116 snd
#alias snd-card-0 snd-maestro3
# module options should go here
