what kind of alsa-driver do you use? alsa9 or alsa5 or the latest cvs-version?? if you use alsa9 at first you have to run the script 'snddevices' wich resides in your alsa-driver-directory this makes the needed entrys in your /dev. if you use some native oss-emulation you also have to define pcm.dsp0 in your .asoundrc. for example my asoundrc:
pcm.ens1371 { type hw card 0 device 0 } pcm_slave.rs { pcm ens1371 rate 44100 } pcm.dsp0 { type rate slave rs } pcm.m { type meter slave { pcm ens1371 } frequency 50 scopes { type level } } pcm_scope.level { type level } pcm_scope_type.level { lib /usr/local/lib/liblevel.so open _snd_pcm_scope_level_open } pcm.ptest { type plug slave rs } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } the pcm.dsp0 entry is here a rate-conversion depends on pcm_slave. this is just for tests. you can define pcm.dsp0 as you want for example as a slave of your main pcm, but it must be present regards joy > > 1) Although I compiled alsa-driver-0.5.11 with OSS support, I still cant > use XMMS.
