Please find, for review, the debconf templates of alsa-driver. This review will last from Sunday, May 06, 2007 to Wednesday, May 16, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --

Template: linux-sound-base/sound_system Type: select #flag:translate:3 __Choices: ALSA, OSS, default Default: ALSA _Description: Sound system to use: ALSA and OSS are alternative systems of drivers for sound hardware. . Selecting ALSA or OSS will enforce the use of such driver even in cases where both drivers exist. . Choosing the "default" option will leave this choice to the hardware detection mechanism and may depend upon the kernel version. Removing the linux-sound-base package effectively puts the system into "default" mode. . Choosing the ALSA sound system is strongly recommended.

For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel. Linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-image packages contains ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the form of loadable modules. For either Linux 2.6 or Linux 2.4 a custom alsa-modules package can be built from the sources in the alsa-source package using the make-kpkg utility (included in the kernel-package package). Some pre-built alsa-modules packages are available in the Debian archive. Please read the README.Debian file for information about loading modules. .
