The OSS is depreciated, so the module is no longer in the stock kernel. I can recompile for this, but I thought it would be better to poor a bit of effort into the newer technology -Alsa. What is you position an that?Firstly, as you have a WinTV 401, have you looked into using the
btaudio driver from video4linux instead of the ALSA one? Info here says the 401 card should work without problems:

Setting up btaudio is also detailed here:

The devices are there:
Secondly, if /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp0 does not work (is it a device not
found error?)
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 3 May 5 02:12 /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 19 May 5 02:12 /dev/dsp1
I just wanted to make aware of that the aplay /dev/dsp didn't yield any sound. What I get is:
Playing raw data '/dev/dsp' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono underrun!!! (at least 8.534 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 10.722 ms long) (continues) playing /dev/dsp1 gives no sound and no messages.
Hmm. Maybe I should start by asking on the Alsa list. I ind it very difficult to determine a procedure to debug this.this likely shows that the OSS emulation for ALSA is either not installed or not configured properly. (The ALSA-OSS lines are missing from your modprobe.conf for example) The ALSA site has the following page of info for the bt878:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Brooktree&card=.&chip=Bt878%2C+Bt878a&module=bt87x
I made a .asoundrc file:
---
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}pcm.wintv {
type hw
card 1
device 1
}ctl.wintv {
type hw
card 1
device 1
}
---Not that id made of difference - he he - now I can get some of the sound in resampled sssssllllloooooowwweerrr version.
I altered the modconfig without getting any closer :-(
as you can see below:
---
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
alias char-major-81 bttv

Thanks for the reply though. Karsten
