Public bug reported: Many multimedia applications will not work into Maverick. The problem is the total absence off oss-emu for alsa.Into the now latest 2.6.35-21 generic core. There is no way around to solve problems as long that the basic generic kernel compilation does not include oss. Currently the last maverick generic kernel config has about oss
CONFIG_SOUND=m # CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE is not set CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_JACK=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m # CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS is not set # CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS is not set # CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS is not set This should be : CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE=y CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=y CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_JACK=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y I do now of course that maverick is still into beta fase, But for audio to work fine for all applications It's just a requirement to have those oss modeles in. also having /dev/mixer /dev/dsp is very important. And those are only available if snd_pcm_oss.ko and snd_mixer_oss.ko are present and probably a lot of other ones as well. Hoping that those oss emu and so for alsa will be present into the next update of kernel gr christophe ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: alsa-base 1.0.23+dfsg-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-21.31-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
