Hi alsa users,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've spent about the last four days
doing nothing but trying to make alsa sound run on my IBM Thinkpad T20.

OSS system worked pretty poorly prior to trying a couple of new sound
editors, after which it didn't work at all. Rather than struggle through
restoring OSS I thought I'd try alsa.

I compiled and installed the 0.9.0rc3 drivers, libs, utils and oss
emulation library. I removed the isapnp.h per the news listing of 8/22
(although I have a pci sound card).(config --with-debug=detect) and ran
the snddevices script (even though it seemed the devices were already
present I wanted to refresh them)

Sorry this is so long but I've tried to include all necessary config info.

On a fresh boot (about the 10000th one) I'm unmuting and trying to run
xmms thus:

******************** unmute and xmms ********************************

[johnea@JOHN-ANDREWS johnea]$ amixer set Master 63 unmute

[johnea@JOHN-ANDREWS johnea]$

**************** end of unmute and xmms ********************

None of the command line playing seems to work. I can't run aplay, or
sox afile.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

Both just hang and don't return.

Below are my /etc/modules.conf, /proc/asound/cards and an excerpt from
the end of /var/log/messages.

PLEASE HELP! I've been banging my head against this for days now!!!

Thank You!!! John E. A.
