Hi there ! The current way to add sound support on Debian is either installing the kernel-source and compiling OSS or installing the ALSA packages.
What about providing a modularized, precompiled OSS package and a sound installation tool ? This sound installation tool should use isapnp to detect soundcards, or let the user specifiy the hardware settings and the soundcard he wishes to use. The tool should handle both, ALSA and OSS, setup the loading of modules and the isapnp.conf file. URLS: <http://alsa.jcu.cz/> Please CC replies to me Guenter
