from reading various web sites and collecting that info, i get
the feeling i'm *really* close to getting ALSA working, so i'll
just summarize what i've done so far, and anyone is free to chime
in with what i did wrong. :-)
first, kernel config (some as modules, some built-in):
sound
(ALSA options) OSS emulation, mixer, PCM, sequencer
(PCI) ESS Maestro3 driver
RPMS (all from freshrpms)
alsa-lib
alsa-utils
alsa-driver
reboot with new 2.6.0-test4-bk7 kernel, and load various
modules so that i end up with (from modprobe):
soundcore
snd
snd_pcm
snd_timer
snd_ac97_codec
snd_page_alloc
snd_maestro3
so far, looks good. and i can scan /proc/asound to find a
number of new entries, including /proc/asound/cards which lists
my ESS Maestro3.
now, based on one website, run "alsamixer" and turn up volume
via both "Master" and "PCM", and ... now what?
if i run the standard "cdp" player, no volume. do i have to
use an alsa-specific player? have i forgotten something?
so close ...
