I have a small suggestion about alsa-driver You see i have two kernels 2.4.21 and 2.5.72, more to say is that i have configured sound for my pci card (cs4281) buid in, NOT as a module this maked me think that: /etc/init.d/alsasound: must be modified to not check for /proc/asound /etc/init.d/alsasound: must be modified to try to modprobe snd-somethings only with 2.4 kernels and only for 2.5 kernels with sound drivers compiled as modules (witch is not an optional thing to do even if you do the following IMPORTANT change) /etc/init.d/alsasound: SHOULD BE PART OF THE alsa-utils NOT FROM alsa-driver And i say that because: - if we run 2.5 kernels there is no need to install those modules that alsa-driber ebuild anyway will not succed in compiling if no 2.4.x sources founded in /usr/src/linux... making people scream and shout... - /etc/init.d/alsasound needs "alsactl" anyway on boths kernel aproches... /etc/modules.d/alsa: remains a problematic issue we can leave it to "alsa-driver" in the hope that if the user knows how to compile a 2.5.x kernel with alsa drivers as modules, NOT build in, will also know how to make a /etc/modules.d/alsa but BETTER to not asume such things /etc/modules.d/alsa in my opinion can also be part of "alsa-utils" In my virtually reality mind i think that making /etc/init.d/alsasound part of "alsa-utils" and /etc/modules.d/alsa part of "alsa-driver" can make our life easier (if we want 2.5.x kernel THAT WILL BE SOON 2.6 so... HURRY UP MY FRIEND)
Well, I would VERY much like to see this too :)
See also bug #24470.
[sigh] Dyslexia strikes again - that was supposed to be bug # 22470. [/sigh]
I think this was fixed recently? acooks@blackbetty acooks $ qpkg -f /etc/init.d/alsasound media-sound/alsa-utils * I'm don't understand why /etc/modules.d/alsa has to change. My alsa modules are working fine on 2.6.0_beta9. Can this bug be closed?
It seam that this bug is finally fixed :0)
just fyi, i made these changes about 4 months ago (perhaps more) ;)
