2.4.0 - sndstat not present
i installed 2.4.0 last week and all worked well on my amd-K6-350 i use a cheap sound card since 2.0.36 and it always worked well too. it work well now in 2.4.0, BUT , /dev/sndstat report me <no such file or directory>
and /proc/sound (as noted in documentation) does not exist...
the sound work well, but i cant verify the existence of the driver with sndstat anymore
could someone tell me if i should have done some additionnal configuration to see
appear the /proc/sound or to enable /dev/sndstat...
maybe is it another method now in 2.4 to see the sound status...
Best Wishes to all of you for the new year...

Please read Documentation/sound/NEWS.
Where in the documentation is /proc/sound still noted?

No - it's simply gone.

Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
the reference to sndstat and /proc/sound was found in
drivers/sound/soundcard.c
thanks for your lights on this topic...
is there nothing i can use anymore to check existence of sound drivers in kernel...
these informations were very valuables when i was configuring my cards for the first time... sometimes the driver loaded but do not appeared in sndstat
then i was able to change my configuration according to what i see in sndstat...
now i just guess and try to play something...
hummmmm (((((

IIRC it is only in the changelogs - and I don't want to play Big Brother on source files ...

Nothing sound specific, no.

The problem is that the PCI drivers don't support this feature anymore. Not sure wether ALSA, which will bring a unified (in-kernel) sound-API again has such a feature.

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
