Yes, this made my oops on module-load go away.

Apropos emu10k1. Why is OSS deprecated? I have tried a little to get ALSA working, but it doesn't seem to work. Hint?

By the way, Alan Cox. I think you forgot to increment the ac1 to ac2 somewhere.

ALSA has a lot more functionality than OSS and the API is better in many ways. The ALSA drivers dont have so much use and exposure so they will need time to shake down, but it should be worth it in the end.

So I did 8)

hmm, it would be really cool if redhat shipped alsa utils......

just a thought -

Joe

I'd be really shocked if it didn't. Maybe you should search more?

I'm sure the others do, (debian, suse, mandrake, gentoo, etc)

That's an excellent "argument from incredulity" but alas, it has fatal flaws.

(10 points if you spot them)

Indeed they do - but that wasn't the issue at hand

;-)

Best Regards,

Joe

Debian at least has had alsa packages since june 1998. Time sure flies..

What I do not understand is why alsa has not gone into 2.4. This will smooth transition to 2.6. Same as i2c. People starts using alsa, then they switch to 2.6 and everything works.

People use OSS in 2.4 and the smooth transition is to continue to use OSS in 2.6.

Hummph... I've intermitently been trying to make alsa work on the so-called AC97 chipset on my motherboard for something in excess of 2 years now. Alsa development has been at a snails pace and probably won't get to my current Biostar M7-VIB mobo before its obsolete.

OSS? Works out of the box, cost me IIRC a 20 dollar bill, and has been updated at least 10 times since I first paid the shareware fee. IMO money well spent.

If OSS does not work in 2.6, then it'll be a while before I'm doing 2.6. But I suspect it will be just fine by the time the real 2.6.0 is out.

I would assume that it's time to stop backporting stuff to 2.4, leave it stable and let the new cacpabilities entice people to move to 2.6.

I've had enough learning experiences with ALSA to convince me that both the code and the documentation have a few rough edges. I'd love to just be able to use sound hardware instead of fighting every system trying get the options right, find and download the right tools and software versions, recompile this and that...

Hello Adrian, Alan,

Thanks for reporting!

Some stuff was not delared static, additionaly some dependencies to i2c and between saa7146 and hexium were missing, the following patch fixes all this.

@ Alan: Many thanks for adding the patches to your ac tree! This makes my life a lot easier!

CU
Michael.

[V4L] - fix static build for hexium_gemini and hexium_orion drivers (Thanks to Adrian Bunk <[email protected]> for reporting this) [V4L] - set debug verbosity to 0 for hexium_gemini and hexium_orion drivers
[V4L] - make hexium_gemini and hexium_orion drivers depdend on i2c module
[V4L] - make saa7146 module depend on hexium_gemini and hexium_orion drivers
[V4L] - let the saa7146 i2c bus report itself as I2C_ADAP_CLASS_TV_ANALOG
