Sorry to pop in without preliminary apointment :)) |

I have a small suggestion about alsa-driver |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
You see i have two kernels 2.4.21 and 2.5.72, more to say is that i have |
| 6 |
configured sound for my pci card (cs4281) buid in, NOT as a module this |
| 7 |
maked me think that: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
/etc/init.d/alsasound: must be modified to not check for /proc/asound |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
/etc/init.d/alsasound: must be modified to try to modprobe snd-somethings |
| 12 |
only with 2.4 kernels and only for 2.5 kernels with sound drivers compiled |
| 13 |
as modules (witch is not an optional thing to do even if you do the |
| 14 |
following IMPORTANT change) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
/etc/init.d/alsasound: SHOULD BE PART OF THE alsa-utils NOT FROM |
| 17 |
alsa-driver |
| 18 |
And i say that because: |
| 19 |
- if we run 2.5 kernels there is no need to install those modules |
| 20 |
that alsa-driber ebuild anyway will not succed in compiling if no 2.4.x |
| 21 |
sources founded in /usr/src/linux... making people scream and shout... |
| 22 |
- /etc/init.d/alsasound needs "alsactl" anyway on boths kernel |
| 23 |
aproches... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
/etc/modules.d/alsa: remains a problematic issue we can leave it to |
| 26 |
"alsa-driver" in the hope that if the user knows how to compile a 2.5.x |
| 27 |
kernel with alsa drivers as modules, NOT build in, will also know how |
| 28 |
to make a /etc/modules.d/alsa but BETTER to not asume such things |
| 29 |
/etc/modules.d/alsa in my opinion can also be part of "alsa-utils" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
In my virtually reality mind i think that making |
| 35 |
/etc/init.d/alsasound part of "alsa-utils" and /etc/modules.d/alsa part of |
| 36 |
"alsa-driver" can make our life easier (if we want 2.5.x kernel THAT WILL |
| 37 |
BE SOON 2.6 so... HURRY UP MY FRIEND) |
