Re: Can't get sound on my G4 500mz working with alsa
Ceaserina,
Oh, a couple other notes. If you have the instructions in the
previous e-mail implemented correctly you should see the following
modules loaded at boot time.
snd-seq-oss 30720 0 (unused)
snd-seq-midi-event 3888 0 [snd-seq-oss]
snd-seq 45192 2 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event]
snd-seq-device 5012 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq]
snd-pcm-oss 45124 0
snd-mixer-oss 10864 2 [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-powermac 32884 2
snd-pcm 62960 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-powermac]

You can use esound as is with libesd0 to access the oss comp. interface.
The current esound in sid is built against alsa 0.5 and its libesd-alsa0
won't work. Furthermore the maintainer has added patches to 0.2.28 which
breaks libesd-alsa0 even if you built it against alsa 0.9 headers.
If you use a stock esound 0.2.28 tarball and the docs and debian directories
from the current 0.2.28-1 debian version (but no other files) you can
build a useable libesd-alsa0 against the libasound2-dev headers. You
will need to add an entry to debian/changelog and change the debian/control
file to Build-Depend on libasound2-dev instead of libasound1-dev of course.
Also, alsaplayer will crash against the current alsa 0.9. This is a
known problem and is being worked on. Otherwise alsa programs and the
oss comp. mode work fine. Lastly, once debian updates to alsa 0.9.0rc2
we should have functional audio recording on powermacs as well.
