[desktop-discuss] ALSA on spec-files-extra

[Doug Scott]

I have just committed SFEalsa-lib, SFEalsa-utils, and SFEalsa-plugins to spec-files-extra on sourceforge. As you can guess the alsa-driver is NOT included. No problems. Since SFEalsa-plugins has a plugin to talk to a OSS audio device you can configure ALSA to output sound using a OSS. There is a sample /etc/asound.conf installed with SFEalsa-plugins to link alsa-lib -> OSS.

For applications which can use both ALSA and OSS I do not think there would be any benefit using ALSA, so you should add the '--disable-alsa' option to configure.

Please note that this is 'version 1' of the port and there will be some bugs. Currently, I know that speaker-test gives an error (though I have a good idea what the problem is). Therefore you should treat the port as alpha quality....

Enjoy
Doug
