while we're on the topic, what's the recommended way for getting an
external sound card to override the one that's on the mobo? I have an
Ensoniq ES1371 that I've been using all along, but since the purchase
of a new mobo with onboard sound, i haven't been able to configure it
correctly. I've compiled drivers for it into my kernel; i disabled
the mobo sound in the BIOS ... but i still get the error(s)
libao - OSS cannot set rate to 44100
Error: Cannot open device oss.
or
Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)
when i try to play anything (depending on if i try to play oggs or
mp3s).
any pointers?
thanks a lot!
