I just emerged the latest gentoo and am running kernel 2.6.test4 and have alsa and oss hard coded into the kernel: <*> Sound card support <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture <*> Sequencer support [*] OSS API emulation <*> OSS Mixer API <*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API [*] OSS Sequencer API [*] Verbose printk [*] Debug [*] Debug memory PCI devices ---> <*> Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455; NForce Audio; AMD768/8111 Open Sound System ---> <*> Open Sound System (DEPRECATED) <*> Intel ICH (i8xx) audio support <*> OSS sound modules <*> AD1816(A) based cards (EXPERIMENTAL) <*> AD1889 based cards (AD1819 codec) (EXPERIMENTAL) <*> Loopback MIDI device support <*> Yamaha YMF7xx PCI audio (native mode) <*> AD1980 front/back switch plugin I started the streamtuner application and i got the message: Couldn't open audio: Please check that: 1.

Expected Results: given me sound
pleasae disregard this bug!!!!
