Just to clearify what I said in the original report: Pulseaudio works fine in gutsy. using the exact same driver as I use in hardy. So I did an additional test: I compiled the latest pulseaudio (0.9.9 from http://www.pulseaudio.org/) in gusty, and as soon as I loaded module-oss, my computer froze. So as I see it, this IS a bug in pulseaudio, and was introduced sometime between versions 0.9.6 (the good version in gutsy) and 0.9.9.
1) Nvidia unfortunately quit developing the driver in 2005, and will of course not release the code. 2) Pulseaudio (0.9.9 but not 0.9.6) is the ONLY program that does this (as far as I have seen). 3) Trying to reproduce a bug in module-oss, using an ALSA driver will never work, as module-oss is not used when ALSA is used (not even when using ALSA's OSS emulation, Not in my tests at least.). 4) The available ALSA driver doesn't even use the same hardware as nvsound (nvsound talks directly to the nvidia soundstorm audio processing unit, snd-intel8x0 only talks to a Realtek ac'97 codec), -- Possible deadlock with module-oss using non-Free nvsound kernel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
