Would you mind briefly summarizing what problems you are having with the |
| 16 |
alsa in kernel 2.6? |
| 17 |
I'm using them from day one instead of media-sound/alsa-drivers, even |
| 18 |
before /etc/init.d/alsasound was moved from alsa-drivers to alsa-lib |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The only important thing is to enable statically (not as modules) in |
| 21 |
the kernel both sound and ALSA (OSS can be enabled too, indeed I use it |
| 22 |
for my bt878 card). Everything else you want to use within alsa as |
| 23 |
modules. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This is part of my .config: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# |
| 28 |
# Sound |
| 29 |
# |
| 30 |
CONFIG_SOUND=y |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# |
| 33 |
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture |
| 34 |
# |
| 35 |
CONFIG_SND=y |
| 36 |
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m |
| 37 |
# CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set |
| 38 |
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y |
| 39 |
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m |
| 40 |
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m |
| 41 |
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y |
| 42 |
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m |
| 43 |
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set |
| 44 |
# CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
# |
| 47 |
# Generic devices |
| 48 |
# |
| 49 |
# CONFIG_SND_DUMMY is not set |
| 50 |
# CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI is not set |
| 51 |
# CONFIG_SND_MTPAV is not set |
| 52 |
# CONFIG_SND_SERIAL_U16550 is not set |
| 53 |
# CONFIG_SND_MPU401 is not set |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
# |
| 56 |
# PCI devices |
| 57 |
# |
| 58 |
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
# |
| 61 |
# Open Sound System |
| 62 |
# |
| 63 |
CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=y |
| 64 |
CONFIG_SOUND_BT878=m |
| 65 |
CONFIG_SOUND_TVMIXER=m |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Besides that I keep my ALSA modules config in /etc/modules.d/alsa, and |
| 68 |
run /etc/init.d/alsasound at startup. This way everything works as it did |
| 69 |
with media-sound/alsa-drivers. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
It is important to enable sound AND alsa not as modules, but statically, |
| 72 |
otherwise it won't work. Everything else as modules. I didn't even try |
| 73 |
doing everything static, since I want to pass some options to the alsa |
| 74 |
modules on loading. |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Anyway, if I misunderstood your problems, please explain exactly what |
| 77 |
is happening on your systems so that we can make it work on everybody's |
| 78 |
machines :) |
