36 alsaconf is a very useful but old script.
37
38 I don't know if the behaviour has changed, but I guess that
39 noone has changed alsaconf itself.

41 I have the following lines in my modules file:
42
43 alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
44 alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
45 alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
46
47 AFAIK it is necessary to have OSS emulation enabled in the
48 kernel.
