Re: Alsa Sound in Potato stable - question

[Carl Greco <cgreco@peregrine.novia.net>]

ALSA 0.5.10b works for me on a SoundBlaster PCI512 board and Potato
(2.2r3).  Here are my configure options (compile and install in this
order):

cd ~/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10b/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-sequencer

cd ~/src/alsa-lib-0.5.10b/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

cd ~/src/alsa-utils-0.5.10/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

And the alsa section in /etc/modules.conf:
# ALSA portion
# base modules
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
# soundcards
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS compatibility
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# sequencer-related
alias snd-seq-client-62 off     # may be snd-seq-dummy (MIDI thru)
alias snd-synth-midi snd-seq-midi
# soundcard options
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29
options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=LIVE
post-install snd-card-emu10k1 /usr/local/sbin/alsactl restore

You will need to add ``local'' the following line in /etc/init.d/alsasound 

alsactl=/usr/local/sbin/alsactl
