After installing snd-intel-8x0 for my Sis 7012 sound card in the laptop, and putting a link into /etc/rc2.d/ for /etc/init.d/alsasound startup script, sound server in Gnome 2.2 immediately works.
I've noticed that at Gnome startup snd-pcm-oss module is loaded, so maybe it works with oss methods. That would not really worry me, but when I see play or aplay is not working, I get anxious on how to make them work.
What I see is I type: play /usr/local/share/licq/sounds/icq/Message.wav, and I see on the screen:
Playing /usr/local/share/licq/sounds/icq/Message.wav....
But no sound is heard, and command prompt is not given back.
The situtation is the same with aplay.
When I call them with the parameter -N (for nonblocking mode), they both report that the sound card is busy. I believe oss emulation is causing this somehow, but don't really know what to do with it.
Can anyone help me out on it, please?
Thanks in advance,
Gogulus
