Unfortunately, ALSA support in snack is much worse than OSS support. So, I will not make ALSA-enabled snack the default. > > The current library setup implays that when e.g. installing wavesurfer, > libsnack2-alsa is removed and libsnack2 installed instead. Just file a bug for wavesurfer to make it depend on libsnack2 (>= 2.2) | libsnack2-alsa (>= 2.2). Then you'll be able to use any snack flavor. > > It should be OK to simply make libsnack2 the ALSA version and nuke the > OSS version. No, I tried to do that, and there were bugreports with complaints for a poor sound quality on some sound cards. > > In case anyone uses the third-party OSS modules that would also not be > a problem since they provide a compatibility library for ALSA. Doesn't ALSA provide OSS compatibility layer? I see modules snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss, snd_seq_oss loaded.
