- How come the old(OSS i guess) intel8x0 driver of 2.4.x kernel fame works as expected, with several programs running and all?
Are you sure? AFAIK the OSS-Free driver cannot do software mixing at all, so you may have had a sound daeomon running.
Yes. The CONFIG_SOUND_ICH driver worked with multiple audio programs accessing the same device. Didn't have to use a sound daemon neither. You did, however, get me doubting myself, so I'll probably double-check one of these days, as it's been a while since I jumped ship in favor of ALSA (but I had SBLive back then).
The rest looks fine, but you're still missing the aoss things, so currently only alsa-native apps will (should) work.
Almost a STFW question, an 'apt-cache search aoss' doesn't turn up anything on my debian sid system, even though I use a lot of non- standard sources, so is aoss part of some package that is very, very new? Probably not, in which case noone's made the debs for it yet.
Does anyone know of debs for aoss?
