i've tried to put alsa into the kernel and compile the kernel with alsa as modules. when i'm trying to load the alsa oss mixer emulation modules... <23:11:06><Tue Jun 21></lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo/kernel/sound/core/oss> root@eNTi # modprobe snd-mixer-oss ...dmesg gives me this: Installing spdif_bug patch: Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] unable to register OSS mixer device 0:0 unable to register OSS PCM device 0:0 root@eNTi # ls /dev/sound/ adsp sequencer sequencer2 root@eNTi # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.9 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache digest distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ ftp://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 16bit X a52 aalib acpi acpi4linux alsa apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 bzlib c++ cdb cdda cddb cdinstall cdparanoia chroot crypt ctype cups curl dga dio dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emul-linux encode ethereal fam flac font-server foomaticdb freetype ftp gdbm gif gkrellm gmp gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 icq imagemagick imlib imlib2 ipv6 java javascript jikes jp2 jpeg junit lesstif libmikmod libwww lua lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir matroska mcal mikmod motif moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mp3 mpeg mplayer ncurses net nethack nls nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl pam pdflib perl png ppds print procmail python qt readline real samba sdl ssl svg sysvipc tcltk tcpd tetex tga threads tiff timidity transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts usb userlocales utf8 v4l v4l2 videos vim vim-with-x vorbis xchatdccserver xine xml2 xmms xosd xpm xrandr xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
