Since FC1 I've installed planetccrma stuff, and have an alsasound shellscript for stopping and starting Alsa in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
there have been queries on the Fedora list as how to stop and start Alsa on FC5. I have 2 FC5 installs, one with planetccrma stuff installed, and has the alsasound shellscript, the other, non planetccrma install doesn't have the alsasound shellscript, and there does not seem to be a way to shutdown Alsa on this. Someone on the Fedora list suggested "ainit", but that seems to be just dealing with dmix, and dsnoop, and stopping ainit has no effect. An audio app using Alsa just keeps on playing. I know Lee's using Ubuntu, and as it's basically Debian, you can stop and start Alsa in it, but is anyone here using FC5, and may have some answer as to why, on the face of it, there appears no way of stopping Alsa, and restarting it? On bootup on my FC + planetccrma installs I get text showing the Alsa components being loaded, but the non planetccrma FC5 shows nothing to do with Alsa, and yet alsa works ok. This is only an academic question, but it would be nice to find and answer to it. Nigel.
