Thanks Abhay I will give that a try when I get home today. I assume |
| 21 |
aoss is part of alsa-utils? (I don't have portage handy to check this |

out at the moment) |

On the topic of sound servers. Being fairly ignorant about sound on |
| 25 |
linux (but willing to learn). Is there a good reason to use a sound |
| 26 |
server or am I better off to use ALSA directly? What purpose do sound |
| 27 |
servers serve? |
