I did a bit of digging. In Fedora, it appears they have a patch to add ALSA support to tvtime, it seems like it enables one to use the ALSA mixer interface instead of the OSS interface (discussion at bottom): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498167
Note that tvtime's use of OSS doesn't fall into the categori of hogging the soundcard, it's merely using the mixer interface to control volume. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #498167 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498167 -- Please disable CONFIG_SOUND_OSS* and CONFIG_SND_*OSS* https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
