Interesting. Where can I find more information on the alias/options settings necessary to make sound work? I have a more complicated setup, a PAS-16 with both the 16-bit PAS sound *and* soundblaster-8 emulation working. (PAS-16 at /dev/dsp+/dev/audio, soundblaster emulation at /dev/dsp1+ /dev/audio1) This is fine when compiled into 2.1.128. I can't get it working at all when using modules. I managed loading the sb emulation once, but it didn't work. loading the pas module always fails with a "device busy". Helge Hafting
